Biographical Information

Pitcher Rollie Lacy was drafted by the Chicago Cubs out of Creighton University in the 11th round of the 2017 amateur draft. He would not last long in the Cubs system, though, as he was involved in two separate trades in the next 18 months. In his first professional season, though, he did pitch in the Cubs' system, going 1-3, 3.45 in 11 games between the AZL Cubs and Eugene Emeralds. In 2018, he started off the year with the South Bend Cubs of the Midwest League and did very well, going 4-1, 2.02 in 16 games, including 10 starts. On June 6th, he combined with reliever Ben Hecht in pitching a 7-0 no-hitter against the Fort Wayne Wizards. He was promoted to the Myrtle Beach Pelicans of the Carolina League but after just two starts was involved in a major trade, being sent to the Texas Rangers along with P Eddie Butler and a player to be named later in return for P Cole Hamels, who turned out to be a key acquisition for the Cubs. For his part, Lacy stayed in the Carolina League, moving to the Down East Wood Ducks, for whom he made 6 starts. Between the three stops, his record that season was 6-4, 2.97 in 24 games, including 18 starts, logging 109 innings and striking out 121 batters. On December 21st of that year, he moved again, heading to the Tampa Bay Rays as part of a complex three-team trade also involving the Oakland Athletics in which the biggest name was IF Jurickson Profar, who went from Texas to Oakland.
