Mack – Our next 2014 prospect is the latest in a legendary list of great Rice University starters, RHP Zech Lemond. Hey, Zech, thank you for spending some time with us here and I assume you’ll be hanging around the television starting tomorrow watching the College World Series?
Zech - I actually couldn't bring myself to watch any of it yet, due to the fact of what happened at NC State.
Mack – Those of us that do this for a living consider Rice University as the premier producer of quality Friday starters over the past two decades. What’s it going to be like for you to add your name to the list of all-time greats that have walked out to your mound?
Zech- Well if I become the Friday night next year it would be pretty amazing, but Stephens did such a great job this past year as Saturday he may be the guy next year, then I may be behind him on Saturday. But being up there with names like Kenny Baugh and the big three with Neimann, Townsend, and Humber it would be pretty amazing to have my name mixed in with those Rice legends.
Mack – Zech, tomorrow is the first day of summer. Where are you playing this ‘off season’, if anywhere, or are you lying low?
Zech- I'll be playing for the Falmouth Commodores in the Cape Cod baseball league. I took a short break, I didn't pick up a baseball all last week but I started throwing again this week so I'm ready to go out and pitch some more.
Mack – Will you be working on anything new while you’re with Falmouth?
Zech- Just try to continue to get better, more accurate with every pitch, and better velocity with those pitches as well.
Mack – Last question, Zech. Is there anything you want to say to your fans and our readers out there?
Zech- I just want to thank everyone for their support and I hope to keep their support by playing well.
