Lane latest Otter to head to Mets organization
Evansville Otters utility position player Taylor Lane had his contract purchased by the New York Mets this week.
"It was pretty evident that Taylor committed himself this offseason to being ready for the season," Otters manager Andy McCauley said. "He came into camp in great shape and put on some good weight."
"I was caught off guard a bit and about to head out to the field at Bosse Field when Andy broke the news," Lane said. "I had a whirlwind of emotions and was extremely excited trying to think of who I was going to call first, mom or dad."
Taylor Lane is from Chesapeake, Va. and joined the Otters in the second half of the 2018 season following his senior season at Arizona State University.
"Definitely looking forward to going out there to Columbia and starting the journey to where I know I belong," Lane said. "As cliche as it sounds, I'm playing with a chip on my shoulder after not being drafted out of ASU."
"Proving people wrong is nice, but proving yourself right will always be more rewarding."
