“I’ve known Lucas since elementary school and he has always been humble and down to earth. I truly admire that even through all his success as a baseball player, he still maintains that humble and down to earth essence of himself — which I feel is hard to find in many people these days. His character and heart have remained the same even with fame.”
The above quote is from Whitney Jones, a 2019 Rutgers University graduate who was a star pitcher on the Scarlet Knights softball team. She grew up with Lucas Giolito in Santa Monica, California, and the two remain friends to this day.
