9/7/14 Loucks has displayed his abilities behind the plate at past events but for the first time worked out as a primary 3B. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound uncommitted senior made an outstanding diving, backhand play and showcased his 78 mph arm strength across the diamond in game action.

The two-way prospect has displayed 2.02-2.08 pop times and a top bat exit velocity of 82 mph at previous events.

8/10/14 Loucks is a solidly built 5-foot-11, 175-pound prospect that went 2-for-5 with a triple and two RBI during game action at the plate. The right-handed hitter has very quick hands and displayed the ability to drive the baseball to all fields during batting practice from a slightly open stance. Loucks flashed pop times of 2.02-2.14 on throws of 73 mph from the crouch. He has some room to improve his catch and throw skills, but displays good carry and enough arm strength for the position.

6/8/14 Loucks showed well in all facets of the game. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound uncommitted senior ran a 7.50 60-yard dash and showed athleticism behind the plate with pop times of 2.02-2.08 on throws of 74 mph from the crouch.
