Luke Burden is a 2024 RHP with a 6-3 178 lb. frame from West Harrison, NY who attends Harrison. Large, athletic frame with long limbs and room to fill throughout moving forward. Right-handed pitcher, works exclusively out of the stretch, utilizes length well to generates downhill plane from from an over-the-top release point. Loose arm action with some whip at release, fastball topped out at 86 mph, up to 23 inches of vertical break and can challenge up in zone. Slider up to 77 mph with short horizontal break, 10-4 bite and able to bury it late in count for swings and misses. Mixed tempos and both pitches well, looseness to arm stood out. Very good student.
