“There aren’t a lot of people who can compare to what Lainey Lyle can do on the mound or at the plate. Her pitches are dominating, not just because of the speed, but because the movement on the ball is so great. She doesn’t usually get herself in trouble, but when her team has been in a tough position, she’s been a rock star.”
