This is an excerpt from an article in today's FW newspaper on Wyatt HS baseball, Jorvorskie Lane's team:
Lane, as a 14 year old freshman, tallied an absurd .493 batting average and hit six home runs. Germany said the unique ability to be simultaneously aggressive and patient makes Lane extremely effective.
“He attacks early when the scouting report tells him to do so,” Germany said. “But he is also patient and knows his own very well. He does a great job of putting the ball in play.”
Lane was also a menace on the base paths, leading Class 5A with 54 in the 2023 season. His speed has been a valuable tool in virtually every aspect of the game.
“If he gets on base he is typically going to score,” Germany said. “He is definitely a threat on the base paths. Not only is it speed, but it’s the savvy and the know how. He knows when to go and when not to go.”
Lane is extremely versatile, and thrives all across the diamond, playing catcher, shortstop and center field. Lane also pitches and, as a sophomore, throws a fastball that can reach 90 mph.
Lane played for Team USA over the summer, batting cleanup. His long list of accolades includes being named the District 6-6A Offensive Player of the year and he also made the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association Class 5A All-State team.
Lane’s off the field presence stands out just as much as his statistics, according to Germany, who said Lane is a fun loving kid who is intelligent and great to be around.
“He’s a great team guy,” Germany said. “He’s pretty much a model citizen. He is anything you want out of one of your best players. And it’s rare because he’s 15 now but last year, he was just 14 years old.”
Lane is also a versatile star for Wyatt football, playing receiver, running back and quarterback. He played a key role in leading Wyatt to the playoffs and was named a Star-Telegram Fort Worth-all area honorable mention.
Lane has a “just keep working” mentality. He said he is confident he’ll continue to improve as he becomes taller and stronger, and he is already working on his “mental game.”
Lane’s reputation precedes him, and he has heard everything from the stands. Chants of “overrated” used to challenge him, but he’s learned to deal with these types of adverse situations.
“You just have to learn to overcome it,” Lane said. “Just lock in.”
Lane said his role models in life are his mom and sisters because they “push him to be better everyday.”
“I just love them to death,” Lane said. “If I ever need anything they are there.”
