Lockwood was the last of the original Seattle Pilots to play for the Brewers, being traded to the California Angels prior to the 1974 season.
Lockwood attended Catholic Memorial High School in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, where he earned 14 varsity letters in four years.
[citation needed] Upon his return to the Athletics organization, Lockwood was converted to a pitcher despite having only pitched one inning, with the Modesto Reds in 1966.

Lockwood was involved in a nine-player transaction when he was sent along with Ellie Rodríguez, Ollie Brown, Joe Lahoud and Gary Ryerson from the Brewers to the Angels for Steve Barber, Clyde Wright, Ken Berry, Art Kusnyer and cash on October 23, 1973.
He finally graduated with a cum laude bachelor's degree from Emerson College in 1976, his eighth year in the majors.
