His exceptional performance on the mound has been instrumental in the Warriors’ impressive record of 15-4 this season, marking one of the team’s most successful campaigns in recent years. Teammate Brody Rothrock stated, “After losing our two main pitchers from last year, Luke had to step up, and that’s exactly what he did.
