Kyle Lazer
West Chester
Pitcher
Redshirt Junior
Havertown, Pa. / Msgr. Bonner & Prendie

Kyle Lazer (Havertown, Pa./Msgr. Bonner & Prendie) was outstanding on Saturday against Mercy as the redshirt-junior pitched a six-inning gem, scattering just four hits and one unearned run, while striking out 14, which is a new career high for the reliever-turned-starter. Lazer’s 14 strikeouts are also the most by a Golden Ram pitcher in at least the last 15 seasons.
