Baltimore Orioles Sign Pitcher Josh Lucas
Homer Zulaica is a healthcare sales executive with extensive experience in pain management, cardiovascular treatment, and orthopedic treatment. Earlier in his career, Homer Zulaica worked as an athletic trainer with the Major League Baseball (MLB) Baltimore Orioles.
Fresh off a season in which it lost the most games (115) in franchise history, the Orioles require plenty of roster changes if the team is going to be competitive in 2019. The organization took a small step forward in that regard on November 29 as it signed free-agent right-handed pitcher Josh Lucas to a minor league contract. A 28-year-old native of Lakeland, Florida, Lucas was selected in the 21st round of the 2010 MLB Amateur Draft when current Orioles general manager Mike Elias was the manager of amateur scouting for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Lucas, who has appeared in only 13 games in the MLB, boasts an earned run average (ERA) of 5.40 to go along with 21 strikeouts and 13 walks in 21 and two-thirds innings. He also spent seven years with the Cardinals' minor league affiliates, where he registered a 4.75 ERA and an impressive strikeout rate of 21.2 percent. He spent most of last season with the Oakland Athletics' Triple-A affiliate in Nashville, where he had a 2.56 ERA.
