Louisiana 2020's

Luke Acosta 2B / SS / St. Thomas More, LA / 2020

Acosta’s speed and athleticism may allow him to be a threat at the top of some school’s order at the next level. The 6.72-runner has a quick first step on the infield where he features twitchier hands and smooth all-around footwork before exhibiting a quick release with accurate throws. At the plate, the right-handed hitter sets up square with a wider base and his hands set just inside the back shoulder. He has a short stride that separates the hands back before working directly to the ball on a level plane with a high finish. Currently, Acosta shows the ability to spray line drives to all fields. At 5-foot-9, 135-pounds, Acosta will likely continue maturing physically in the future, and should add a substantial amount of strength before reaching a college campus. Overall, given his athleticism in the field and simple approach at the plate, coaches will want to continue monitoring Acosta’s progression throughout the summer.
