BSB: Lasers Ranked 4th in GNAC Pre-Season Poll

Newton, MA – The Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) has released its 2025 Baseball Pre-Season Poll, with the Lasell University baseball team ranked fourth. Last season, the Lasers wrapped up with a 21-20 record and a 10-6 mark in GNAC play. Their 2024 campaign ended in the first round of the GNAC Tournament, after falling to Saint Joseph's College and Johnson & Wales.

The Lasers will rely on a mix of returning talent and experienced players to make a strong push in 2025. Among the key returners is senior pitcher Mathew Fletcher, who was a mainstay on the mound for the Lasers last season, and a GNAC 1st-Team selection. Fletcher made 12 appearances, including 10 starts, and logged 52.2 innings. He finished the season with a 3.42 ERA, 4 wins, 1 save, and 62 strikeouts, striking out an impressive 10.95 batters per nine innings. 

Adam Marsh, a rising senior, has been another consistent force for Lasell over the past three seasons. Marsh made 12 appearances in 2024, earning 5 wins and 2 saves in 51.1 innings pitched. He posted a 2.98 ERA and 53 strikeouts, proving to be a reliable asset to the pitching staff.

On the offensive side, senior Tim Callahan, who is a two time All-Conference 1st-Team selection, will look to build on his successful 2024 campaign. Callahan played in 40 games, collecting 48 hits and 40 runs in 183 plate appearances, finishing with a .343 batting average. A dynamic threat on the basepaths, he also swiped 23 stolen bases and recorded 296 putouts, maintaining a .991 fielding percentage. . 

Graduate-student Scott Lyon, 2024 All-Conference 2nd-Team, will also be returning for his final season with the Lasers. Lyon played in 40 games last year, finishing with 47 hits, 29 runs, and a .341 batting average, making him one of the team's most reliable offensive contributors.

With these key players returning and a mix of new talent, the Lasers will be looking to improve upon last season's performance and make a deeper run in the GNAC Tournament.
