Luke Vaks

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #452 prospect in 2020 draft
  At 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, Vaks is a smaller pitcher, but he is still able to generate some strength from the right side. He impressed scouts at the Area Code Games in August when he was up to 92 mph on his fastball, with an average slider to boot. If he had continued to put up 92 on the radar gun in the spring he likely would have boosted his stock even more, but he’s more often been seen around the 88-90 mph range. For now, he relies mostly on his fastball and slider and has no changeup as of now, but he could certainly develop one at the college level. Vaks is an Old Dominion commit, and as a good pitcher with two solid pitches, he should rise up to the Friday night role there in a couple years.
