June 15, 2010: Tonight's Starting Pitcher

RHP MAVERICK LASKER: Selected by Milwaukee in the 5th round of the 2008 draft out of Sandra Day O’Connor High School in Phoenix, Arizona.

LAST SEASON: Lasker went 5-1 with a 3.26 ERA in 13 games (one start) for the Arizona League affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. He was a late season addition to the Timber Rattlers roster and Lasker went 1-1 in a pair of Midwest League starts.

LAST START: Lasker started game two of a doubleheader against the Bowling Green Hot Rods on June 9 at Time Warner Cable Field. Lasker allowed one unearned run on three hits over 4-2/3 innings. The Rattlers won 4-2, but Lasker – who walked two and struck out two – was not involved in the decision.

PRO CAREER DELAYED: Lasker did not pitch professionally in 2008. He was placed on the disabled list of the Arizona League affiliate of the Brewers in July and was not activated until September.

WHERE EAGLES DARE: Lasker’s team made it to the Arizona State Baseball Championship Game for Class 4A-I.

SAYING NO TO SAN DIEGO: Lasker turned down a scholarship offer to play college baseball at San Diego State University.

PRO DEBUT: Lasker made his first appearance as a professional as a reliever for the Arizona League Brewers on June 27, 2009 against the Angels. He pitched two innings, allowed two runs on two hits, walked two and struck out one in his relief appearance.

MAULING THE COUGARS: Lasker made his Midwest League debut on August 31 at Kane County. He pitched seven scoreless innings and picked up the win. Lasker allowed four hits, walked two, and struck out three.

RANKING: Baseball America lists Lasker as the #30 prospect in the Milwaukee Brewers organization.

VS. CLINTON: Lasker faced Clinton on April 13 at Time Warner Cable Field as a starter. He allowed one run on three hits over five innings. Lasker walked two and struck out five, but was not involved in the decision. He left the game with a 2-1 lead, but the LumberKings scored three times against the Wisconsin bullpen for a 4-2 victory.
