Grayden Lucas – 2024 LHP

Grayden Lucas (2024 LHP) has committed to Northwest Nazarene University (NNU) to continue his baseball career at the collegiate level. He uses a true 4 pitch mix (FB, CB, Cutter, CH).  Spring 2023 FB velo was 83-85. In January 2023, the FB topped out at 86mph at the University of Utah prospect camp. Grayden is homeschooled and has pitched for Skyview HS (Nampa, ID) Varsity since his Freshman year. He finished his the 2023 HS season as a Junior with 68Ks in 42 1/3 IP and was selected to the 1st Team All-State Team and 1st Team All-Conference Team.

2023 Spring Highlights

• 4A All-State 1st Team selection
• 4A SIC 1st Team All-Conference honors
• April 21, 2023 -No hitter with 12 Ks
• Shutout in State Semi-Final game at College of Southern Idaho.

In the summer of 2022, he pitched for the Sawtooth Catch College Prep 18U.  He was 6-1 in 7 tournament game starts with 33.3IP, 29H, 35K, 15BB, 3.15 ERA, 1.3 WHIP .240 BAA with 6 pickoffs.

in 2021, Grayden was selected to the 2021 5A Southern Idaho Conference Honorable Mention Team as a Freshman. He represented Team Idaho 2024 as a LHP in the Baseball Northwest Championships in Fall 2021 and was awarded All-Tournament Team honors.

Grayden is the 5th of 8 children in his family. Older brother Easton Lucas, also a LHP is currently in the Baltimore Orioles organization. Like Grayden, Easton’s velo (now as high as 98.0) came at the end of HS before pitching at Pepperdine University for 4 years. He was a 2 time Summer West Coast League All-Star (2015 & 2016) for the Walla Walla Sweets as well as a Cape Code League All-Star (2018) for the Wareham Gatemen. Easton was drafted in the 14th round by the Miami Marlins in 2019, before being traded to the Baltimore Orioles. He pitched in High A in 2021 and AA all of 2022 and the Arizona Fall League 2022 for the Scottsdale Scorpions.

What makes Grayden unique (besides being 1-handed) is his game competitiveness and pitchability to truly mix 4 pitches for strikes in any count to keep hitters off-balance and guessing.
