South Side Sox Top Prospect No. 48: Gil Luna Jr.

Left-Handed Relief Pitcher
5´10´´
173 pounds
Age: 22
SSS rank among all left-handed relief pitchers in the system: 5

Pitching for Casa Grande Union H.S. (Ariz.), Gil Luna Jr. was named in 2016 a Louisville Slugger All-American. Supposedly it had something to do with posting a 1.16 ERA with 138 strikeouts as a junior. Not only did Luna win that award as a junior, he had a fantastic senior season as well, which enticed the prestigious University of Arizona to lure him into its program.

Luna struggled, however, in first three years as a Wildcat with ERAs of 5.
