So Sarah Palin called and said we just had to feature this guy, and who are we to say no to the mayor of Wasilla? Maverick Lasker, at just 19 years old, already has reached prominence with his made-for-fame moniker. You'll be shocked to discover that he's from Arizona. And, as embarrassing as this is, he was named for the "Top Gun" character played by Tom Cruise.
Among the coolest qualities of this pitcher on the Milwaukee Brewers' Arizona League team is this strength listed in a 2008 pre-draft scouting report: He's got moxie. Although he struggled with his command and shoulder injuries at Sandra Day O'Connor High School in Phoenix, some scouts see him as at least a valuable reliever one day.
Just to reiterate, he was named after a Tom Cruise character. Sigh...
