An 18-4 win over Jackson College April 13 brought Kellogg Community College's decorated Head Baseball Coach Eric Laskovy to a record of 700 career wins coaching the Bruins.
Laskovy is in his 27th year with the KCC baseball program and 20th as head coach. In that time, he's led the Bruins to thirteen Michigan Community College Athletic Association Conference Championships; three state championships; eight National Junior College Athletic Association Region XII Championships; and eight appearances in the NJCAA Division II World Series, the latter including a second-place finish in 2007, a third-place finish in 2022, and back-to-back trips in 2024 and 2025.
His coaching awards include twelve MCCAA Western Conference Coach of the Year honors; seven MCCAA Coach of the Year honors; eight Great Lakes Region Coach of the Year honors; eight American Baseball Coaches Association Regoinal Coach of the Year honors; and National Baseball DII Championship Coach of the Tournament honors in 2007.
Laskovy was also awarded a Starfish Award from the KCC Foundation in 2023, which is a student-nominated award recognizing a KCC employee who has played a significant role in a student's education at KCC.
KCC Athletic Director Drew Fleming said Laskovy has established a program for student athletes who are as impressive in the classroom as they are on the field, with his teams consistently maintaining a team grade-point average over 3.0, including 12 seasons in which his teams have earned NJCAA Academic All-American honors.
"The wins, the championships, the awards he's received are all so impressive and typically what gets the headlines, but his impact on our student-athletes stretches far beyond the baseball field," Fleming said. "We are incredibly fortunate to have Coach Laskovy as a leader of our program and on our campus."
The Bruins have won 24 of their last 25 games and have been consistently ranked in the Top 10 teams nationally throughout the season, which has just under a month left until postseason play.
