2024 High School All State Select Championship (2027-2028 Grads)
Jude Loucks is a 2028 C/RHP/IF/OF with a 5-7 150 lb. frame from Lago Vista, TX who attends Lago Vista. Features a smaller build that has plenty of room/time to fill. Ran a 7.93 60-yd dash. Worked out in the OF, INF and behind the plate. In the OF, showed some hesitancy in the approach, waiting back a tad and not working with much quickness/urgency. Did display his glove early allowing for a consistent clean reception. Uses an extra shuffle and glove tap before working into throws where his arm showed avg. strength getting off some uphill throws that were accurate one hops to the bag. In the INF, showed developing actions. Slower foot speed here as well but got his body set into decent posture to both sides to field it clean and showed some decent glove skill while on the move. Some trouble with the exchange at times and used an extra shuffle before getting off throws where most were accurate across. Behind the plate is where he showed best. Operated in a one knee down set up. Efficient/compact exchange and worked to release quick. Gained some decent ground as well and worked with good direction toward 2nd. Offensively, starts pre-engaged with his backside with weight already shifted back. Simple toe-tap trigger but got to launch a bit late/rushed. Showed avg. bat/hand speed for his level where the barrel worked on a more direct path at entry and to the baseball. Trouble getting the barrel out front but did produce a couple of solid LDs through the middle of the field. On the mound, showed an uptempo operation with some deception to some of his movements. Used a smaller leg raise trigger and smaller stride down the mound. Arm works more compact out the glove and to a normal 3/4 slot. FB sat in the mid 70s, T76 and flashed some running action at times. Mixed in a developing breaker in the upper 50s, T60 that had big depth and showed mostly 12-6 shape but did telegraph at times by slowing arm down.
