Washington Nationals’ prospect Lucas Knowles an ace in two sports

WASHINGTON – The baseball season is over for Lucas Knowles, a lefty pitching prospect in the Nationals’ farm system.

But another sport – golf – has been a big part of his life and that continues to be the case.

“I grew up on the game,” he told Federal Baseball on Monday, noting that his father, Mark Knowles, is a golf pro.

Knowles spent most of this season at Single-A Fredericksburg, where he was used both as a starter and reliever.

A few days after the season was over, he began the drive from Virginia to his home in Washington state.
