Joseph George Lucchesi (loo-kay-see; born June 6, 1993) is an American professional baseball pitcher in the San Francisco Giants organization.

He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the San Diego Padres and New York Mets.

In 2017, Lucchesi played for both the Lake Elsinore Storm and the San Antonio Missions, pitching to a combined 11–7 record with a 2.20 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 24 total games (23 starts) between both clubs.

He started the game and pitched 42⁄3 innings, giving up three earned runs on seven hits along with striking out one; he did not receive a decision as the Brewers defeated the Padres 8–6.
