MIF Andrew Lucas (Oak Forest, 2024) is an uncommitted name to know in Illinois. Currently ranked No. 205 in the state, Lucas looked the part on both sides of the ball throughout the weekend. 5-foot-11, 170-pound frame with an athletic look and room to add on more strength. Athletic right-handed stroke, quick load and short stride allows him to be ready to hit early, hands load slightly in-stride before moving into a flat path, quick hands through the zone with a line-drive approach that looks to stay up the middle of the field. Smooth defender on the infield, soft hands with fluid footwork, easy range to both sides of his glove. Foot-speed is above-average, proven by his 6.97 in the 60 this past summer. Strong arm that plays with carry and on the move, topping out at 87 mph over the summer.
INF Andrew Lucas (Oak Forest, 2024) is another uncommitted senior infielder to follow from this event. At 5-foot-11, 170-pounds, Lucas ran a 6.97 60 while reaching a peak speed of 20.1 mph. He worked on the barrel to the pull-side in BP from a short, flat right-handed stroke, averaging 87 mph per batted ball with a 92.3 mph peak exit velocity. Lucas also flashed above-average raw power, elevating his furthest ball 346 feet, per TrackMan. He showed arm strength on the infield too, firing an 87 mph high across the diamond on his firmest bullet.
