Luke
Sullivan

RHP/OF Luke Sullivan (Parkway South, 2025) was another big winner on the mound from this event. At 6-foot-3, 180-pounds, Sullivan works with ease and control downhill, repeating a simple delivery with little effort. His fastball came out clean and easy, sitting in the low-80s for strikes with plenty more to come down the road. Sullivan’s off-speed feel is advanced for his age, as he spun a tight 65-67 mph slider for strikes around the zone. His best secondary in this look, however, was a 68-69 mph changeup that he naturally faded to the arm-side corner, killing spin and throwing it with fastball intent for strikes. Sullivan also swung it well in BP, working direct and on top of the baseball from a loose, projectable right-handed swing. His polish and pitchability on the mound standout, and his size paired with how easy his operation is suggests more velocity could come sooner rather than later.
