GCU welcomes 11 signees who are set for debut in spring 2023
The Grand Canyon baseball program announced a 2021 recruiting class whose signees who will join the program next year for the 2023 season.
Of the class' 11 players, seven are from Arizona. GCU also signed individuals from California, Utah and Kansas.
"We are very excited to announce our 2021 recruiting class," Lopes head coach Andy Stankiewicz said. "We were looking for a balanced recruiting class in terms of freshmen and junior college additions. Assistant coaches Gregg Wallis and Jon Wente did just that with seven freshmen and four junior college students-athletes coming in. Each player has a physicality and athleticism that will give them the opportunity to get on the field right away or push others to be better. We believe the strength of our program comes from competition within the program."
The incoming Lopes include infielders Nick Arias, Emilio Barreras and Preston Clifford; right-handed pitchers Lucas Cardy, Tyson Heaton, Jace Smith and Nathan Ward; left-handed pitchers Grant Richardson and Zach Thornton; catcher Zach Yorke; and shortstop/right-handed pitcher Isaac Lyon.
The class includes four position players, six pitchers and a two-way player.
"These new student-athletes will push our program to be more competitive on the mound, on the defensive end and at the plate," Stankiewicz said. "Each one of our new recruits were nationally recruited student-athletes and we are honored that they chose GCU as their destination. The future continues to be bright."
The class members will play their respective high school or junior college seasons this spring before enrolling at GCU in August with an opportunity to officially take the field in February 2023.
THE PLAYER: Arias will be a four-year varsity starter at Tucson and has earned Class 6A all-state honors and Region Player of the Year. He hit .472 with 16 RBIs and 10 extra-base hits this spring in his junior campaign, highlighted by a three-run walk-off homer to beat Brophy in April.
THE PERSON: Arias' father, George, played four MLB seasons with the Angels and Padres and also had a pro career in Mexico and Japan, where Nick lived. His older brother, George Jr., is a pitcher at Arizona. He is contemplating majoring in Criminal Justice.
SCOUTING REPORT: "Nick has a balanced swing and uses his lower half well to create extra-base-hit power. He uses the whole field and keeps getting stronger. Nick also has great defensive actions and will be able to play either left-side infield position. He has a very professional approach at the plate and on defense. He was one of our first commits in the 2022 class, and we are really excited to officially welcome him to the program." — Wallis
THE PLAYER: Barreras comes to GCU with impressive high school numbers through his first three seasons: a career .500 batting average, 40 RBIs and 20 extra-base hits in 27 games. As a junior, he hit .531 (a top-10 mark in 4A) with 18 RBIs. Barreras is a four-year varsity starter, two-year team captain, all-conference and all-state honoree and the 2021 Defensive Player of the Year.

SCOUTING REPORT: "Emilio is a spark-plug type player in the mold of former Lope and current Diamondback Channy Ortiz. Emilio plays with a ton of energy and passion. He's smooth out on the dirt and is known to make some acrobatic plays in the middle of the field. He is very versatile and can play short, second or third. At the plate, Emilio will bring a solid left-handed bat with gap power and good strike-zone awareness. " — Wallis
THE PLAYER: Cardy has garnered national attention as a 2020 and 2021 Perfect Game Preseason Underclass All-American and a top-500 national ranking. He has been picked to represent Arizona at the Prep Baseball Report Future Games.
THE PERSON: The right-hander enjoys hiking, fishing and traveling. He chose GCU for "the campus atmosphere, the amazing coaching staff, team culture, facilities and because it's close to home." He is contemplating a business degree program.
SCOUTING REPORT: "Lucas is a right-handed pitcher who is very athletic with great makeup. He has a clean arm action with a nice fastball/change combo. His fastball can get to 90 but should improve with added strength to his wiry frame. Lucas has a high ceiling, and we're excited to add Lucas to the program." — Wente
THE PLAYER: Clifford spent the last two seasons at Washington State before transferring to Pima Community College for the 2022 season. He appeared in 34 games, including a shortened 2020 season, for the Cougars and collected 20 hits, 12 RBIs and a .330 on-base percentage.

THE PERSON: He is interested in pursuing a career as a U.S. Marshal. Both of his parents played collegiate sports: his dad, baseball at New Mexico, and his mom, volleyball at Central Arizona.
SCOUTING REPORT: "Cliff is a highlight-reel defender with competitive make-up and old-school grit. He will add an experienced right-handed bat that has competed at a high level of Division 1, juco and summer baseball. Cliff is also a plus runner with great instincts on the bases. He fits perfectly into what Coach Stankiewicz wants on both sides of the baseball diamond." — Wallis

SCOUTING REPORT: "Tyson is a right-handed pitcher from one of the top junior colleges in the country in Central Arizona and also has Division I experience as he pitched at BYU. He is very competitive and throws a ton of quality strikes. Tyson can run his fastball anywhere from 90-94 that is heavy. Tyson will come in here and make an immediate impact on our pitching staff based on competitiveness and experience. Excited to add Tyson to the Lope family." — Wente
THE PLAYER: Lyon is a three-year starter at Snow Canyon High School and has collected all-region and all-state honors.

THE PERSON: Lyon chose GCU because it's "an awesome school and great baseball program." His father, Brandon, was a 12-year big leaguer — including four years with the Arizona Diamondbacks — after being picked in the 14th round out of WAC foe Dixie State. Lyon also enjoys basketball and bowling and is contemplating a Business Finance degree.
SCOUTING REPORT: "Isaac is an athletic infielder with great glove skills and a plus arm. He defends at a really high level and shows the ability to use his feet to set up great hops. He has shown a compact swing with plus barrel awareness and is already in the process of adding strength to his wiry athletic frame. Isaac is a real two-way player and can jump on the mound in any role. He is a competitor with command of three plus pitches and a fastball that has been clocked up to 91. Isaac is only scratching the surface of the player he will be at GCU, and we are thrilled to see the impact he will make all over the field in his next three to four years as a Lope." — Wallis
THE PLAYER: After working back from injury, Richardson completed a junior campaign that included 18 1/3 innings with 33 strikeouts, nine hits surrendered and a 1-0 record. The left-hander helped Horizon to a 17-6 mark this spring. He also played two years of basketball for the Huskies.

We're excited to see what the future hold for Grant here at GCU." — Wente

Zach will make an immediate impact with our pitching staff. Excited to add Zach to the Lope family." — Wente

Nathan will make an immediate impact on our pitching staff. We're excited to add Nathan to our program." — Wente
THE PLAYER: Yorke will finish his career as a four-year varsity starter and three-year team captain. He already has 224 plate appearances at the varsity level and hit .304 with 22 RBIs as a junior in the spring.

He also has the ability to play first base. " — Wallis
