Player to Watch: '22 Luke Metzker

May 27, 2020
Brett Harrison
Nevada Scouting Director

We will begin looking at some of the rising prospects in the 2022 Class that have made significant jumps in recent months and project to continue making positive progression over the next couple of years. The up and coming classes have a wealth of talent that will bring an abundance of attention to our state as a place to find talented prospects. 

A standout at the Northern Nevada Scout Day, Metzker is a rising, two-way prospect has clean actions throughout his game and could make big leaps in the coming year. With his current stature at 5-foot-11, 145 pounds, he sat low 80's earlier this year with a raw, but clean delivery that projects to add significant velocity as he continues to add strength and size to his lean frame. The continued physical development should also translate to an increase in power at the plate (currently has a 77 mph Exit Velocity) as well. In the field, he displays promising actions through the ball that should allow him to stay up the middle throughout his prep career and at the next level.
