View Draft Report

Laskey hasn’t pitched much this season, making it difficult for scouts to assess him for the draft. A 6-foot-3, 205-pound lefthander, Laskey was a full-time starter in each of his first two seasons with the Blue Devils, though he posted 5+ ERAs in both seasons. He broke out over the summer in the Cape Cod League, where he went 5-0 and posted a 1.19 ERA with 26 strikeouts and 11 walks in 30.1 innings. With that performance for Falmouth, Laskey was named the league’s pitcher of the year. None of Laskey’s pitches are plus when healthy, but he has a solid three-pitch mix of average to above-average offerings including a fastball that gets into the low 90s and a solid breaking ball and changeup. He has feel for both of his secondaries, but with a spotty track record in the ACC and just 12 innings under his belt this spring, will be a difficult draft decision for teams.

Laskey has made impressive strides in recent years, and he's put himself in a good position this spring. He has a loose arm and repeats his delivery well, projecting as a strong command lefthander. He throws his fastball in the 88-92 range and can reach 93 at times, with the ability to work away from righthanded hitters or run his fastball in on the inside corner. Laskey's changeup has plus potential. He throws it with good arm speed, and the pitch generates late fading action and slight tumble. Laskey throws a sharp slider with 2-to-8 shape, but the pitch is inconsistent and its development will be key for him in the coming years. He is a good athlete and has a projectable 6-foot-2 frame. Laskey is committed to Duke and is expected to come with a high price tag, but some teams are all in and could take a shot at signing him.
