LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 National Academic Showcase (Tues-Wed)
Luke Althardt is a 2026 2B/RHP/OF with a 6-1 155 lb. frame from Cumming, GA who attends Denmark. Long and slender young build with lots of room to get stronger. 6.86 runner in the sixty. Primary second baseman on defense, has long actions, long strider through the ball with a longer two-part arm action, has athleticism and good balance that will continue to improve as he gets stronger. Also worked out in the outfield, body type and baseball athleticism may work better on the grass, arm worked from a long over the top slot, made on line throws, pretty smooth through the ball and in his transition. Right handed hitter, hits from a narrow base with a short pull side swing approach, some uphill plane when he gets the barrel out front, was well timed in the games and found the barrel. Also pitched, works from the stretch with a high 3/4's arm slot, tends to struggle to get over his front side and repeat his release point. Fastball topped out at 77 mph with good sinking action, also threw a soft curveball. Very good student.
