Gil Luna

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Chicago White Sox #28 prospect in 2022
  Track Record: Luna wrapped up a four-year career at Arizona as one of the Wildcats’ key bullpen pieces, finishing his senior year with a 1.69 ERA and 31 strikeouts in 21.1 innings. The White Sox drafted him in the ninth round, signing the diminutive lefthander for a money-saving $10,000.
  
  Scouting Report: Luna delivers a 94-96 mph fastball coming out of a lower release point, giving the pitch deception. The slider flashes plus but for now is a below-average pitch projecting to be a future average offering that plays up because of the fastball velocity. The improvement of the breaking ball should ultimately give Luna a weapon to use against lefthanded batters. He needs to throw it harder, as right now it’s in the 82-84 mph range and needs to be a few ticks harder to truly be effective. He shows confidence in his changeup, using it as a heavy focal point when attacking righthanded hitters.
  
  The Future: Luna projects as a middle reliever, but with continued improvement to his slider he could be in the mix for a seventh or eighth inning role.
