The former UNC Charlotte has registered a .312 batting average on the year to lead his team and rank third amongst all the league's hitters. The 23-year-old ranks fourth in the league in doubles with 36, a mark that also ties him at third all-time for doubles in RiverDogs single-season history. Lyerly's also has 150 base hits on the year, which is the third-best total in the SAL. He notched five separate hitting streaks of seven games or more, highlighted by a career-high 11-game hit streak from June 4 - June 16.
Rob’s name is popping up all over the place in this Yankee Blog when summarizing the Yankees farm system this year.

He was able to make errors all over the diamond instead of just the outfield. Don’t worry, I’m sure Calderon will be here next year.
