PBR Fall Showcase Player Spotlight: Luke Ellis
September 24, 2018
This fall, we will be taking a closer look at each member of the PBR Fall Showcase Team, known as the Appalachian Aces. Today we highlight 2019 RHP Luke Ellis who is Uncommitted.
Kuykendall on Ellis: "Luke is starting to see all of his hard work pay off. He has a fastball in the mid-80's with run and a really good splitter to go with it. If he continues to bare down on throwing more strikes early in the count, he will be really tough to hit. I project him to be a front-end starter at the next level"
