Jay Johnson and the LSU coaching staff received a commitment from elite left-handed pitcher Lucas Nawrocki on Tuesday night.


The 5-11, 190-pouder from Aledo, Texas is ranked the 22nd-ranked high school prospect for 2026 and the 5th-ranked pitcher in the class, according to Over-Slot Baseball.


Here's his Perfect Game Bio:
quote:

Lucas Nawrocki is a 2026 LHP/1B/OF with a 5-11 190 lb. frame from Aledo, TX who attends Aledo. Compact and strong build. Two-way potential as a hitter and left handed pitcher. Works from a coiled wind up on the mound with a long and extended arm swing in back, whippy arm coming through to a 3/4's arm slot. Fastball was up to 94 with 2700+ rpm spin and some late life in both directions. Low 80's slider was an outstanding pitch with huge depth and up to 3200 rpm spin, commanded his slider well and created some ugly swings and bad takes. Left handed hitter, sets up in a slightly open stance with a short stride into contact, big hand hitch timer, lofted swing path with lots of bat speed and hard pull side contact, gets to his strength well. 7.00 runner in the sixty. Clone of MLB reliever A.J. Minter at the same age. Good student.

The draft is a crapshoot. Commit as many top 100 guys as you can and hope for the best. The more lottery tickets the better.

Hard to get a highly ranked lefty to bypass MLB money!

Goodness I want to get excited for these elite baseball commits but I just can’t with the MLB peeking around the corner with millions to flash at these recruits.

Definitely not a prototype of a pitchers body. Hope he makes it to campus and pitches for the good guys.
