Lucca Cost '20 Recruiting Profile

My name is Lucca and I am currently a junior at Bentley High School, a rigorous academic school in Lafayette, CA and I play on two varsity teams  - baseball and soccer.  I have played both sports competitively since I was 7, but baseball has always been my favorite. I am looking for a school where I can continue to play baseball competitively and be part of a team while also continuing to be a serious student. I have been playing on the varsity baseball team at my school since freshman year where I was the only freshman to start on the Varsity team. At first it was challenging to adapt to playing at a varsity level but I quickly did and had a good year - I ended my sophomore year with the 5th best batting average in the league. I believe that the same would be true for me on the college team and I would quickly become an important part of the team. I have been playing third base and some left field throughout high school, but I am an extremely coachable player and my coach has told me I could quickly pick up any position on the field.

At the plate I am contact hitter who excels at getting on base.  My soccer training has helped with speed and agility and I am a quick and smart base runner. I have been working seriously on my batting since last summer and am looking forward to a great season this Spring where I will be working hard on my fielding.  After attending a Baseball Factory event, a coach described me as a natural athlete with huge upside potential.  Having played two sports, I have not become burned out on any one of them.
