Most Viewed Profiles (2024): #21 Lucas Lawrence

Lawrence was the second guy that we got to see last Friday, as he got the start against the Bucs JV squad and he showed that he's continuing to stay on the right trajectory. The southpaw graudally builds up during his delivery before using a loose arm stroke to release the ball from a high 3/4 slot. He did a good job of commanding his 82-84 mph FB and he showed the ability to land it to both sides of the plate. His 70-73 mph CB flashed "1-7" shape with good break and depth, and he was able to land it for strikes. When comparing his Future Games outing from last summer to his outing last Friday, it was easy to see the jumps and strides that he's made over the last 7-9 months, and with a 6'5" 170 lbs. long-limbed and projectable frame, there is likely still more to come.
