I want to know more about Lucas Long

OD starter for Delmarva, now has pitched three games to a 0.50 ERA. I'd never heard of him until his OD start. He's 23, so he's old for his level, but he'll move up quickly if he keeps pitching like this. What does he throw, and why the sudden success?

Here is his Twitter

24th round pick in 2014.

He's repeating at Delmarva.

Decent K, K/BB numbers.

He's bigger than Dylan Bundy, he is righthanded like Dylan Bundy, He is the same age as Dylan Bundy. I've not seen him pitch. I would like to.

He has a LinkedIn page, pretty funny:https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucas-long-82328686

Unfortunately, 23 and in Delmarva is 23 and in Delmarva. But it would be nice to see what he can do if he's given an early promotion.

1 BB in 18 IP, 17 K's. Looks like he should be moved up.

Give it six - eight weeks, then make a move if warranted. Three starts isn't too meaningful, other than to get our attention.

He has a basic arsenal of 2- and 4-seam fastballs, curve and circle change. He has excellent command and had an outstanding spring training.

Good stuff as usual, Doc. Sounds like he's a groundball pitcher. Perfect for OPACY.

Or three days. He started Friday night's game for Frederick.
