Head Coach Josh Holliday and the Oklahoma State baseball staff will added some quality experience to the pitching staff, but they'll have to wait until the 2019 season.
On Monday, Weatherford College RHP Jake Lyons announced that he will be committing to Oklahoma State for his Junior and Senior year.

Lyons will play one more season with Weatherford before coming to Stillwater. Which is one more season to get even better. And with Tyler Buffett and Trey Cobb leaving this season and others leaving next season it will be nice for Rob Walton and company to get a pitcher with some experience.
