Blessed beyond belief to be able to say I’ve committed to the University of the Ozarks! Thank you to the Lord Jesus for blessing me with an able body, and the opportunity to glorify him through this game. Huge thank you to my parents for making all the sacrifices for any of this to be possible, and thank you to Coach Owens for the opportunity to compete at the college level, looking forward to the next 4 years! Go eagles🦅🦅🦅
Happy to announce my official commitment to the University of the Ozarks!
First I want to thank God for blessing me with this opportunity and guiding me through this journey. I’m very grateful for my family, friends, coaches and everyone who has supported me and pushed me to become what I am today. None of this would be possible without the people who have believed in me along the way. Special thank you to the coaching staff and @MarshallOwens9 at the University of the Ozarks for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to continue my academic and baseball career at the next level. I’m beyond blessed and excited for what the future holds. The best is yet to come!

Great first bullpen as we begin the fall program. Sat 80mph at about 65-70% intent. Thank you to the Lions Den coaching staff for all the opportunities.
Best week of live ABs on the final week of the summer program. 5BF, 1 SO, 2 GO, 1 FO, 1BB. Also hit a new personal best of 84mph on the fastball. Looking forward to the fall and continuing to climb!
Extremely blessed and excited to receive an official offer to continue my academic and athletic career at Dallas Christian College! Huge thank you to Coach Urias and Coach Sonnier for the amazing opportunity to grow in my faith and skills! @CoachSonnier@Kyleu1
Best week of live ABs thus far. At the plate I went 1-2 with a HR, and a walk. And on the mound was feeling super athletic and mobile. Faced 5 batters with 2 SO, 1 Pop-out, 1 Ground-out, 1 walk. Felt great but can definitely feel there is more in the tank. Really looking forward to finishing out the last few weeks of the summer program!

Extremely thankful to be named the Den Athlete of The Week! Thank you to the Den coaching staff for the recognition! Looking forward to continuing to grow!
Great day of swings yesterday. Angled machine personal best EV of 103.6mph. 103.6mph HR. Looking forward to continuing grinding towards the goal of 106mph for the summer.
Great day of swings today off of the angled machine. Highest exit velocity of the day was 103.6mph. Really looking forward to facing college pitching, and pitching against college batters Saturday June 27.
Back to back exit velocity PR days! 104.1mph today, with more in the tank! 60mph pitch from 35 feet away to simulate a 103mph pitch. Drove it to center field for a new PR of 104.1 mph!
Week one of summer training has been great! Today I hit a new personal best of a 103mph exit velocity. It was with a machine ball so it is inflated about 4-5mph. I felt great today after we hit a mobility workout and ran. I’m looking forward to the rest of summer and climbing higher in my numbers!
First bullpen of the summer on 5/27/26. Quick Fastball, Change-up pen while on vacation at 11,200 ft elevation in Peru. Thank you to my Dad for catching again!
Extremely blessed and honored to receive an official offer to continue my academic and athletic career at Cairn University! Thank you to Coach Knight and the Cairn University coaching staff for the amazing opportunity to grow in my faith and skills! Go Highlanders!

Thank you to my high school Coach, Coach Shank, for the write up!
"Luke is a performer on the field and in the classroom. As a junior he could pitch a complete game and hit a ball over the fence, his senior season should be exciting. He's very interested in playing college baseball and would be a great addition to the campus and dugout for his next coach." -Christian Shank.
