“Luke is very talented but he needs to get more consistency within the strike zone. We expect him to help us win games right away. Freshmen figure out when they're ready to perform, but he's got the stuff to do it. He could vie for a mid-week starting position or he could be a reliable lefty out of the bullpen. He just needs to fine-tune his command.”

- Coach Pete Hughes
