Despite the Harvard baseball team’s 1-13 start to the season, not all is lost with the Crimson able to ride the strong play of senior pitcher Max Perlman.
The 6-foot-7, 230-pound right-hander heads into the weekend with a 1.40 ERA and 19 strikeouts in just over 19 innings.
Perlman pointed out his offseason dedication as the key for his impressive start.
“[I] worked very hard in the offseason and had a good experience this past summer when I got to play with some guys that were very good and will definitely play professional baseball,” Perlman said. “I definitely learned from them.”
Perlman’s dedication and competiveness allow him to go out and turn in solid performances for Harvard.
“Most of the games I pitched have been pretty close, and at that point your competitive nature takes over,” Perlman said. “I think that’s what has driven me to do well so far this spring—just the desire to compete.”
Despite the season's early struggles, Perlman believes there is still time for the team to turn things around.
“We have had a tough start, and we are just tying to take it step by step and one weekend at a time,” Perlman said. “Our goal is to try to win the Ivy League Championship this season. And we are trying to break up the large goal into smaller goals that we can achieve everyday we go out there.”
