A year after being drafted in the supplemental portion of the 1st round, Jordan Lyles is getting some high praise from his Lexington pitching coach, Travis Driskill.
“I would say his season is going totally in the right direction,“ Lexington Legends pitching coach Travis Driskill said of Lyles on Monday. “He is head and shoulders above some kids.“…
He said Lyles first came into the league with a fastball and a change up. Now, however, Driskill said Lyles has added a curveball to his repertoire, and that pitch is working well for him. “Now he is displaying a curveball that has the makings of a good pitch for him.“…
“I expect big things out of him. In my mind, and in the mind of the organization, he is doing everything he is able to do to advance to the next level.“
