Luke FoxโฆDAYUM!
Talkinโ about makinโ a SPLASH in your 1st outing of the year.
6IP | 3H | 1R | 8Ks | 0BB
I mean, where do you start? 1 run in 6 innings is awesome, 8 Ks is awesomer, and 0 walks might be the awesomest. Sweeping breaking ball was BIG, but he also had โsubtleโ movers, and his fastball simply beat hitters in the zone. And, it carried the top of the zone extremely well when he tried to get above barrels.
Fox seemed to have momentum from the 1st pitch of the game, then he worked fast, so he carried that momentum through just about every pitch he threw. Heโs had some good ones, likely, though, NONE better than this one. #dodgers #dodgersprospects
Luke Fox is a lefty out of Duke who made it to AA Tulsa last year. Recovered from Tommy John, let off the leash in 2024, had a full season last year, and took full advantage of it.
Advanced sequencing, execution focus, will use every part of the plate. Moves the ball well to the backdoor to steal strikes, and then to the backfoot for swing and miss, and has good velo.
4S, at 93-97. Then changeup at 87-89. The one going right is like a short slider/cutter at 88-91. The bigger slider/slurve is actually a knuckle at 82-85. So, a complete mix. #dodgers #dodgersprospects
Luke Fox was dealin' tonight for the Loons!
In fact, he's been dealin' for a while now.
Tonight
5.1IP 4H 0R 8 Ks 3BB
Fox has allowed just 2 earned runs in his last 3 starts (14.1 IP) & has allowed just 4 earned runs in his last 21.1 innings. #dodgers
Luke Fox...LFG!
4IP 3H 0R 7Ks 3BB
He made it easy on himself by getting ahead in the count a lot, 7 located all of his pitches very well. Control was good, command inside the zone in hitting his spots was, IMO, the key to his success.
Slider/slurve is a knuckle at 82-85 and had great movement, and his FB, which is usually 93-97, played well off of it. He also has a shorter slider/cutter at 88-91.
Excited to see Fox over a full season in 2025 with a full run of health. #dodgers
Last night was special. It was an honor and a privilege to present Doc Fox with the Wisconsin Athletic Director Service Award. There is no bigger advocate for CMH athletics. He and his family mean so much to me and so many others in our community. Thank you Doc Fox and family!
Baseball world -- He's one of us.
Jonah Rosenthal is one of the most hardworking, decent human beings I've ever met.
He loves baseball. He loves his friends. He loves his family.
He needs our help.

Luke Fox turned in another good start for Rancho. Still ramping up the pitch count, so just 2 innings, but he made the most of it.
2IP 2H 0R 4Ks 0BB
His ERA is just 2.04, WHIP just 1.05, average against is just .182 & he has 30Ks in 24.2 IP.
4S at 93-97, changeup at 87-89, slider/cutter at 88-91, bigger slider/slurve is a knuckler at 82-85. Unique mix, great execution! #dodgers
First time seeing LHP Luke Fox, 2023 17th Rd. Draft Pick who is just recovered from TJ. Working on confirming the mix, but looks like 4S, Change & slider with Knuckle grip. When confirmed, I'll leave it in the comment section, plus velo numbers.
Nice outing
