Throughout Lucas' high school career, he faced a few of his current Blue Devil teammates (Quinn Danahy, Trot Kelly and Michael Prentice). When asked about what it was like to play against them, Lucas was quoted saying:
Once Lucas finished his time at St. Mary's he decided to take his talents to Niagara County Community College, a two year program school, located in Sanborn, New York.
It was here where Lucas really learned how to improve his game as a pitcher. "I learned a lot more about the game of baseball during my time at NCCC," said Lucas. "I learned to focus on the little things that can make me a better pitcher and to control what only I can control." He feels the things he learned during his time at NCCC are things he can carry with him outside of baseball as well.
Lucas is also an advocate of playing with "swagger." Throughout the fall, it was noticed by a few of his teammates that he likes to rock the high sock look when pitching. When asked about why he chooses to do so he said, "I like the way it looks. I feel that I have had great success when wearing my socks up. Baseball players are always trying to be a little swaggy. Look good, play good."
Lucas is ready to step up and take on any role this season for the Blue Devils. He is ready to get the season going and to get after it with his teammates. "SUNYAC's is the measuring stick right now for us," said Lucas. "I am really looking forward to a hardworking offseason with these guys, so we are ready to go as soon as the season hits."
