Scouting Report
6'5, 210 lbs with a pro build and massive frame. Lutman was one of the top overall performers from our preseason events and recorded the highest peak FB at 91.4 mph. He moves down the slope easily with body control and pace before getting into a soft landing with direction towards his target. Uses a high, push back type takeaway that shows the ball immediately to 2nd base and keeps him arm action bent throughout. Comes downhill from a high 3/4 release with a balanced finish. FB spins at an above average rate with life/carry into the zone. Uses a SL with hard, tight break as his main secondary & the offering has swing and miss potential. CH is a usable 3rd option with hard tumble and sink. As a position player, he can handle 3B or 1B duties. The arm strength plays well from the hot corner and he has sound footwork for a taller athlete. At the plate, he can rotate easily to generate impressive bat speed and produce mid to upper 90s exit velocities.
