Here it is folks, the Lucas Giolito Baseball Bits. And we have a special guest, Mr. Lucas Giolito himself, who helped me with this collaboration. In this video, we'll explore the brief Lucas Giolito Nationals stint, how the difficult 2018 Lucas Giolito season set up the triumph of 2019 Lucas Giolito, and the Lucas Giolito no hitter vs the Pirates on August 25, 2020. In that no-hitter, he employed something very unique, his own patented Lucas Giolito high changeup. He's a big reason why his team's profile is rising, as many experts believe the Giolito White Sox could be among the best teams in 2021. If the season were to result in a Lucas Giolito Cy Young, it would go a long way towards helping their cause.
I hope you all enjoy this Lucas Giolito Foolish Baseball collaboration. It's certainly a unique episode of Baseball Bits, and one I surely won't forget. I hope this video highlights what a unique player he is, as well as how generous it was of him to reach out and help make this video. Hope you enjoy the results of this Lucas Giolito interview!
