Age: 22
Position: Left back

Luca Petrasso was Orlando's first offseason acquisition, but he's also the least talked about incoming transfer on the roster. He shouldn't be.

Petrasso has played just 23 MLS games so far, but he's flashed extremely exciting upside as an offensive left back. He started as a winger for Toronto FC, but the Canadian international eventually found a spot as an offense-first defender.

In the minutes he played, he showed strong technical ability, a good cross and mostly functional defensive acumen. With the right coaching and system around him, Petrasso could become one of the better left backs in the league.
