Which Tampa high school did 2026 Brewers acquisition Lance McCullers Jr. attend?

Lance McCullers Jr. attended Jesuit High School in Tampa, Florida.

Jesuit helped establish McCullers as a nationally recognized pitching prospect. During his senior year, he was named the 2012 Gatorade National Baseball Player of the Year, an award that highlighted him as one of the country’s top high-school players before he entered the professional draft.

McCullers came from a baseball family: his father, Lance McCullers Sr., also pitched in Major League Baseball. That connection often causes confusion when biographical details are discussed, but the school listed for Lance McCullers Jr. is Jesuit High School, not one of Tampa Bay’s other prominent prep programs.

After graduating, McCullers went directly into professional baseball when Houston selected him in the first round of the 2012 draft. He eventually made his Astros debut in 2015 and developed into a major-league starter known for his breaking pitches and competitive intensity.
