For the fourth time in his career, German international Donald Lutz will return to the Australian Baseball League. This stint will be his third with the Brisbane Bandits. His very first stint in the ABL was with the Canberra Cavalry.

The tall German outfielder played the 2017 season for the Bravos de Leon of the Mexican Baseball League (AAA level). With the Bravos, Lutz hit a decent .289 with an OBP of .378 and a slugging percentage of .316. Nevertheless, he was released shortly after the start of the season. He went on playing baseball with the Kansas City T-Bones of the independent American Association, but with that club, his stay did not last long as he was released on May 17.

During his last stay in the ABL with the Bandits, Lutz hit .323 with an OBP of .405, a .605 slugging percentage and an OPS of 1.005.

Lutz started to play baseball with the Friedberg Braves. After two years he joined the Bad Homburg Hornets before joining the Regensburg Legionaere as he spent time on the Regensburg baseball boarding school. In 2007, Lutz signed a contract with the Cincinnati Reds. On April 29, 2013, Lutz broke into the Majors but his stay in the Bigs would be nothing more than a cup of coffee as the Reds sent him down to Pensacola on June 25.

During his fourth stint, coming season, the Brisbane Bandits will try to defend their title and threepeat.
