The New Jersey native from Jackson has made an immediate impact with the Scarlet Knights. Lasko has grown into one of the top outfielders in the nation since he joined the Scarlet Knights in 2021. With three years with Rutgers, Lasko developed into a top MLB prospect. He is a run producer with solid power. Also, he has a strong arm and can cover ground in the outfield with great instincts.

The 6-foot 190 pounds prospect has a career batting average of .314 with Rutgers baseball. In 156 games played, Lasko recorded 201 hits, 47 doubles, 38 home runs, 135 RBIs, and 120 strikeouts. Lasko received All-Big Ten First Team honors in 2022 and 2023. Also, he tied Rutgers’ single-season doubles record (24) in 2022.

All signs point to Lasko being taken on Monday with a third-round projection. Lasko is projected to be the first Scarlet Knight off the board, with right-handed pitcher Drew Conover behind him. Conover is ranked the No. 247 (Prosect Live) and No. 220 (MLB.com) prospect in this year’s draft.
