I want to first thank the Lord for this amazing opportunity and all His many blessings. I am extremely excited and grateful to announce that I am committing to play baseball at High Point University. I would also like to thank my parents for all of their support and dedication.
Heck of an outing from 2027 LHP/1B Luc Oates.
7 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 12 K’s ‼️‼️
FB: 80-84 T85
CH: 73-75
CH: 70-72
Real feel for the CH coming out of same tunnel as FB, kills spin. Strike thrower and competes.

Barrels on barrels for 2027 1B/LHP Luc Oates with a pair of base-hits here.
Goes backside for a 2B in his first at-bat. Third at-bat sits on spin and fires one into RF for a 1B.
Generates a ton of strength from the ground-up with feel for the barrel and good use of the whole field.

Strong start for 2027 LHP/1B Luc Oates against a potent offense.
Struck out 7 across 5.1 IP.
FB: 80-83 T84
CB: 70-73
CH: 73-74; adv. feel, late-depth
Pitch ability stands out. Consitently kept hitters off-balance all game.
Present strength in his lower half and creates easy drive down the mound.

2027 1B Luc Oates (Pinewood Christian) jumps on the 1st pitch he sees and cuts the lead in half in the 1st.
Easy operator in the box w/ feel for the barrel. Has really produced over the last year or so.
Good follow headed into the summer season.
Oates comes through again to put a runner at 3rd with less than 2 outs.
Hitterish traits in the box that looks to hit early, but can expand and find barrels with 2 strikes.
Big riser in the ‘27 class for the 🍑state. 📈
