Natural State Games: 2020 Player Spotlight
October 19, 2017
The Natural State Games are October 27th and 28th at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, Arkansas. This event will feature some of the premiere talent from all corners of the state. As we move closer to the event, I wanted to highlight some of the players, to keep an eye on;
2020 OF/RHP Luke Davenport will stand out with his advance physicality. Davenport has advanced arm strength and overall strength. He showed off both as he was selected to play for Team Arkansas/Louisiana at the 2017 Futures Games, August in Indianapolis, In.
