Lucas Prokosch, senior at Newburgh Free Academy Main Campus recently signed a national letter of intent to play Division I Baseball at Farleigh Dickinson University. Lucas was joined and celebrated by his parents Mr. and Mrs. Alfred and Margherita Prokosch, his brother Tyler Prokosch, coaches, and friends. Superintendent Dr. Roberto Padilla, NFA co-principal Mr. Raul Rodriguez, and Athletic Director, Mr. Edgar Glascott were all on hand to share remarks and celebrate Lucas’ success.

The 17-year old has been playing baseball since he was 3-4 years old and is a pitcher. He started his baseball career playing for the Town of Newburgh Little League and Cadets Baseball Academy. He and his family visited quite a few Division I and II schools before making a decision. Lucas made his decision based on the quality of academics, baseball program, and scholarship opportunities offered by the school. Farleigh Dickinson University will cover 60% total tuition and board.

Lucas will be studying business administration and hopes to be drafted by Major League Baseball out of college.
