Happy Birthday - 8/24

Bryce Lane (22)
Lane, a 41st Round pick in 2010 signed out of Gulf Coast Community College in Florida, is currently on the DL. A right-handed hitting OF, the Alabama native struggled at the plate earlier in the season but had shown marked improvement in the second half by increasing his SLG% from .258 to .447 and significantly lowering his SO rate while compiling a .230 BA at Lexington.

Enrique Hernandez (20)
As reported by Astros County, Hernandez recently had surgery and is out for the season but is expected to be able to resume baseball activities in November. Taken in the 6th Round in 2009 out of the American Military Academy in Puerto Rico, Hernandez' BA for Lexington this year, at .247, is down from last season at TCV, but his OBP is up.
