Texas Rangers catcher Jonathan Lucroy has put his four-bedroom home in Lafayette, LA, on the market for $820,000. The backstop is a two-time All-Star who represented the winning Team USA in this year’s World Baseball Classic.

Built in 2012, the 3,914-square-foot home is located in the Brookshire Gardens subdivision, a new luxury construction project in central Lafayette. It features an open-concept lower level, with antique wooden beams and brick accents.

The home opens to a formal dining room, which has an adjacent wet bar with wine refrigerator. Large windows let in lots of natural light. A wide brick archway separates the dining room and living room, which has a simple brick fireplace and wood beam mantel.

The kitchen is anchored by a long island with a white marble countertop. There are white cabinetry, a six-burner gas stove, stainless-steel appliances, and a full backsplash. Just off the kitchen is a sitting area with a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace.

Lucroy’s ties to Lafayette date to 2005, when he joined the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s baseball team, the Ragin’ Cajuns. There, he notably set the school record for doubles and runs batted in.

Lucroy, 30, spent his first six seasons in the bigs as a catcher with the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2016, the Brewers traded him to the Texas Rangers.

He was named to the All-Star squad in 2014 and 2016 and is widely regarded as one of the best catchers in the American League. In this season’s MLB Player Rankings, CBS Sports ranks Lucroy just behind top-ranked San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey.
