Lucarelli Signs With Duke University

Riverside Panther standout pitcher Christian Lucarelli officially signed his commitment to pitch at Duke University on Wednesday afternoon.

The 6′ 3″ 215-pound senior is ranked the #3 player in the Pennsylvania 2025 class (111 nationally).

The right-hander started and led the Panthers to a WPIAL Championship and PIAA Class 3A title in 2023.

Lucarelli struck out seven batters across 3 2/3 innings in May but the Panthers could not repeat as WPIAL Champions, falling to Avonworth in an epic 14-inning championship game. The Panthers then fell to Punxsutawney in the first round of the 2024 PIAA Playoffs.

Duke University baseball was named the 28th-best collegiate baseball program in the country by D1Baseball and finished 2023 40-20 overall, 16-14 in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
