Spencer Van Scoyoc’s grandfather is a member of the Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame and his father pitched three years in the Yankees farm system. The youngest Van Scoyoc has pretty arm action and his fastball velocity varies from 83-90 mph. He has a good changeup and scouts like his 6-foot-4, 195-pound frame. He’s committed to Arizona State. Video here.
The Cedar Rapids Gazette gets reaction from Van Scoyoc on his selection.

Round 37, 1122nd overall. LHP Luke Gillingham, Navy. 6-foot-3, 200 pounds. Born March 4, 1994.
Scouting Report from FanGraphs.com...
Navy left-hander Luke Gillingham opposed Jax Friday night and turned in a masterful performance, striking out 13 Falcons in seven innings. He never got above 86 mph and only scrapes the high-80s on warmer days, but he wins by changing eye levels with plus fastball command. He also mixes in a sweepy hook in the low-70s as well as a decent changeup to keep hitters off balance. Normally you don’t consider a guy who can’t break 90 as a draft follow, but he’s a strikeout machine, whiffing 111 batters and walking 14 in 83.1 innings last year. In two starts this year, he’s tallied 21 strikeouts and just one walk in 13 frames. Even though you can’t project his stuff beyond average, his aptitude for pitching is so exceptional that, if he can add a couple of ticks through the right training program, then you have something. Gillingham is more than a cheap senior sign.
Round 38, 1152nd overall. LHP Alex Segal, Chaparral Arizona. 6-foot-4, 185 pounds. Born March 18, 1998.
Round 39, 1182nd overall. OF Chavez Young. Baptist Christian Academy. Bats Switch, Throws Right. 5-foot-11, 185 pounds. Born August 8, 1997.
Round 40, 1212nd overall. RHP Carter Loewen, Yale Secondary School, Abbotsford BC. 6-foot-4, 200 pounds. Born September 28, 1998.
