Q&A With Eric Lauer on his Early Season Success

Eric Lauer
Freshman, LHP

Eric Lauer was named the No. 14 freshman prospect in the country by Baseball America and has won both MAC East Pitcher of the Week honors through two weeks of the season.

You threw a no-hitter through five innings in your start Sunday against Coppin State.  What was working for you that day?
I was just trying to get into a groove and try to pitch the best I could.  It really wasn’t anything spectacular.

What would it mean to you to solidify a starting spot in the weekend rotation this year?
I would love that, that would be my ultimate goal.  That’s what I really would like to have happen.  I’ve been working towards it and try to do my best when I get a chance to see if I can move up a little bit and secure a weekend spot.  It would mean a lot to me to have a weekend spot as a freshman.

What do you have to do to keep up the success when you travel to Middle Tennessee State this weekend?
Just keep pitching how I’ve been pitching, hopefully.  Stay loose and try to not get too worked up about what I might have to do or try to pitch harder than I should.  Just try to be me and keep throwing well.
