Luke Wagner

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #322 prospect in 2020 draft
  Yet another player who would have largely benefitted from a spring season, Wagner and his high school team Red Land High out of Lewisberry, Pa., were scheduled to appear in the NHSI in Cary, N.C., before the coronavirus pandemic ended the season prematurely. Wagner was a sleeper for scouts coming into the season, thanks to his three-pitch mix and pitchability. At 6-foot, 170 pounds, Wagner doesn’t have a ton of projection left, but his ability to spin a breaking ball that could potentially reach plus to go along with his average fastball and changeup give hope that he could stay a starter. He performed well in the 2019 PDP League, where his fastball sat 87-90 mph from the left side, but by the time East Coast Pro rolled around in August he was exhausted and was throwing his fastball in the mid-80s. Wagner is lauded for his strong makeup and ability to throw strikes, but he currently does not have an out pitch to speak of, although his breaking ball is likely the closest thing to one. His changeup is regarded as fringy at best at the moment. It was always unlikely Wagner would forego his commitment to Georgia, but those odds are even greater in a five-round draft.
