I want to first thank the Lord for this amazing opportunity and all His many blessings. I am extremely excited and grateful to announce that I am committing to play baseball at High Point University. I would also like to thank my parents for all of their support and dedication.

Thankful for the opportunity to play for Team Georgia at the Stinger Sports High School Baseball National Championship this July! @RecruitwAlex @GeorgiaJackets @bsamsbrenntag @OHA_pitching @utahjones56 @GAnattyTeam

2027 1B Luc Oates (Pinewood Christian) jumps on the 1st pitch he sees and cuts the lead in half in the 1st. Easy operator in the box w/ feel for the barrel. Has really produced over the last year or so. Good follow headed into the summer season.

Oates comes through again to put a runner at 3rd with less than 2 outs. Hitterish traits in the box that looks to hit early, but can expand and find barrels with 2 strikes. Big riser in the ‘27 class for the 🍑state. 📈

Made the trip south to catch some baseball today and 2027 LHP/1B Luc Oates waisted no time to get things started. Takes the 2nd pitch he sees to right for a solo 💣.
