Lancaster struggled to a .250/.358/.405 line during his spring season with Coastal Carolina, with 53 strikeouts and 36 walks. After undergoing Lasik surgery last summer, Lancaster improved significantly on the offensive and defensive side of the ball and turned his new and improved eyesight into a .311/.462/.660 line with a career-high 19 home runs this spring. Perhaps more significant than the power increase is the fact that Lancaster walked more than he struck out for the first time in his collegiate career, with 61 walks and 51 strikeouts. With a plus arm, Lancaster could fit at third base if he has to move off of shortstop.
