The Roundtable (Baseball Preview)

Published on 2/15/2023

This week, The Roundtable conducted a season preview of the 2023 Rutgers Baseball season. After a historic 2022 year that saw this team win a program high 44 games, a high of 17 Big Ten wins, and a Big Ten Tournament run all the way to the Big Ten Championship game that ended in a loss to Michigan, the Scarlet Knights made remarkable strides one year ago.

With all of this, the program just missed out on making the NCAA tournament, which would have been Rutgers' first appearance on the national stage since 2007. The Knights look to add onto their incredible season from one year ago when they begin the 2023 campaign this Friday at Campbell.

Our hosts; Alex Carmenaty, Christian Vazquez and Cameron Bruker preview the upcoming year and dive into what can make this new season even better than last year. The Roundtable crew also breaks down last seasons' numbers and how this year's journey can see Rutgers' best and newest players stand out this season.

Starting Centerfielder Ryan Lasko joined the show to preview the new campaign from his own perspective, while looking back at what he did in 2022. Lasko to enter the season has been named a Top 50 Draft Prospect in the 2023 MLB Draft, as well as a Pre-Season All-American.

To end the program, the Roundtable made some "bold predictions" for the upcoming season and discuss how these moments can come to reality in 2023.
