Uncommitted '25 Spotlight - RHP Luke Riha

Luke Riha RHP / Homestead, IN / 2025

A physical, 6-foot-2, 200 pound power-arm. Riha sits in the mid-to-upper 80s on a fastball that has been up to 90 mph, but his ability to spin a potential-plus slider is the separator. The slider works in the mid-to-upper 70s with late, sharp sweep and the pitch has made big strides compared to looks in the winter and spring. The slider tunnels out of the same window as the fastball and he is able to get chase with both pitches late in counts. The strong-armed righty also flashed a get-me-over curveball in the low-70s to show a different look and keep hitters off balance. Riha looks the part of a potential power back-end arm at the next-level and coaches should keep close tabs on the uncommitted junior throughout the rest of the fall and into the 2024 season.
