Joey Lucchesi of the Padres moved his record to 2-0 in four starts Sunday afternoon as the Giants fall 10-1. He might be an early favorite for rookie of the year. So far, in 21 2/3 innings, he allowed six runs, four earned, struck out 25, walked four, and gave up just one home run. His ERA stands at 1.66. That’s about in line with his minor league numbers where he averaged 10.1 K per 9 IP and just 1.8 BB per 9 IP. The Padres may have found an ace.
What, no Lucchese crime family reference?
Forgive me if you’ve covered this before, but is he any relation to former manager Frank Lucchesi?
Jeff A » There’s nothing in Baseball Reference indicating he had a relative in the game.
