Lane had a very impressive showing in the weekend round-robin featuring the likes of Jones County, Wayne County, & Jeff Davis. The growth from lane has been nothing short of remarkable. The Junior has sound mechanics with the ability to leave the yard. Timing mechanism is simple and repeatable as he found success on multiple pitches on multiple parts of the plate. The ability to match plane and use all fields is evident, and hands are quick enough for plus-velocity. Lane is on the verge of a breakout year both offensively and defensively. Lane on the weekend was 4-5, 2 1B, 2 HR, along with 5 RBI's for a red hot start to his junior season.
