His change is an above average pitch and his breaking ball shows
promise. Weaver’s also shows very good
command. http://bigleaguefutures.net/1/2013/06/10/2014-mlb-draft-early-college-names-to-know/

6-27-14 - Player:
Luke Weaver Position: RHP
School: Florida State Date of Birth: 8/21/1993
Height/Weight: 6’2/170 Bats/Throws:
R/R 2014 Class: College Junior Previously Drafted: 2011, 19th rd, Blue Jays Scouting Report: He throws from a ¾ to low ¾ arm slot and
gives off a Bret Saberhagen type vibe.
The slot shows a bit of wrap, but decent three piece delivery. Fastball was 91-94 (95). Offering shows natural good hand side action
on the 2S, some even off the 4S grip. He
works it around and shows solid command of the offering, attacks the lower half
of the strike zone. Luke’s change up has
a solid amount of deception, shows depth and fades at times, looks to sit above
average. Slider has bite, can sweep at
times, nice horizontal action glove side when throwing away at the RHH, will
attack LHH inside with it. http://bigleaguefutures.net/1/2013/06/26/2014-mlb-draft-profile-luke-weaver/

10-15-13 – Baseball America - 32.
Luke Weaver, rhp, Florida State: He draws Tim Hudson comparisons for the body
and live arm that pumps fastballs up to 96 mph. http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/2014-draft-top-50-october-2013-carlos-rodon/
10-19 – BLF – Luke Weaver -
Fastball: Weaver shows a 91 to 94 mph
Fastball with good tailing action. Secondary Pitches: Weaver throws a slider
that shows flashes of plus potential and sits in the low 80s. It sometimes shows a sweeping action and at
times a harder break, once he is able to find a consistency in the slider it
will be easier to grade. But both have
plus potential. Command: He shows excellent command and pounds the lower half
of the strike zone. He isn’t afraid to pound the inner have of the plate with all his pitches. Summary: Luke Weaver is my dark horse in this
draft. He has a lot of good pieces and
if he puts them together, Weaver will become a very good pitcher. I see him as a #1/#2 type but could become a
pure #1 if things go right. I have heard
comps on him like Brett Saberhagen and Tim Hudson. http://bigleaguefutures.net/1/2013/10/19/scouting-report-luke-weaver-rhp/

12-9-13 – Pine Tar Press -
40-RHP Luke Weaver Florida State 8/21/93- Broke out as a force for the
Seminoles last year after serving as a swing man his freshman campaign. He isn’t
a big guy as he stands 6’2 and has a lean build but his arm plays like a bigger
guy as he can touch 97. His arm is quick and he adds deception with a
potentially plus change up. He could stick as a SP but is also easy to dream on
as a very good RP. (Out of first round- Cardinals selection) http://pinetarpress.com/early-look-2014-mlb-draft/

Weaver enjoyed an outstanding season for the Seminoles this year. Over 15
starts, he had a 2.29 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 119 K/19 BB over 98.1 innings. His

2-5-14 - Luke Weaver, RHP, Florida
State - Like Nola, Weaver relies more on his ability to paint the corners and
mix up his pitches rather than overpowering you. A groundball pitcher, his
fastball can touch 96 mph and he uses a sinking change-up with great deception
to baffle hitters. His slider is just average and a big progression in his
breaking stuff would be needed for him to go this high. Over 15 starts, he had
a 2.29 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 119 K/19 BB over 98.1 innings. His 10.9 K/9 and 6.3
K/BB ratios show the kind of command and stuff he has. Also like Nola, at 6’-2”
and 170 pounds, his size can be a concern. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-dark-horse-candidates-chicago-cubs-first-pick/41075#UeYBipV5rOuYd7xE.99
2-19 – TTF - 10 college players on
the rise - Luke Weaver, RHP, Florida State (17) The 6’-2”, 190 pound
right-hander was unhittable Friday night — literally. Over six innings, Niagra
failed to record a hit and Weaver added seven strikeouts to one walk. Projected
as a mid-first rounder, he has the potential to go top-10 if he continues to
show the stuff he had Friday night. His fastball sits in the low/mid 90s and he
adds a change-up that flashes plus. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-10-college-players-rise/41224#Brkvtc4VfkP16udZ.99
