10/25/15 - The 5-foot-10, 179-pound RHP uses short arm action and works through a high-3/4 arm slot, max effort in delivery, above average velocity for age, fastball sat at 76-77 mph touching 78 and is mostly straight, showed good feel for his 70-71 mph curveball with sharp 11/5 action that he locates consistently at the bottom of the zone, also showed a change that was 70-71 mph thrown with good arm speed. Duke had two strikeouts in one inning pitched during game play. He is a 2019 prospect to keep an eye on. As a position player, posted an 8.16 60 time and had a 79 mph position velocity across the infield. Defensively, Duke shows short arm action with a high-3/4 release, some accuracy, above average arm strength for age that plays well on the left side of the infield, playable hands. Offensively, Duke has above average bat speed for age from the right side and had an 80 mph exit velocity off the tee. Duke hits from a balanced setup with a short stride, has a short swing path with some extension through contact, creates occasional lift with swing with a pull approach.
