Luke Prokopec

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kenneth Luke Prokopec (Born February 23, 1978) is an Australian-born, right-handed pitcher who played in Major League Baseball for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays. While with the Dodgers in 2000 and 2001, the tandem of Prokopec and fellow Australian Jeff Williams gained considerable popularity in the Los Angeles area. However, the attention was short lived, as both moved on to other franchises. Prokopec was traded to Toronto on December 13, 2001 along with Chad Ricketts in exchange for Cesar Izturis and Paul Quantrill.

Prokopec has since left Major League Baseball and is presently playing in his native Australia. Prokopec now heads up the Queensland Academy of Sport in Brisbane, Australia.
