COACHES COMMENTS:

Tyler is a very smart young man with a wealth of knowledge for the game which helps him on the mound and in the field.  He is a right-handed pitcher, a middle infielder, and an outfielder as well. .  Tyler is very affective on the mound.  He throws from down under and has a very good feel for it.  He throws 3 pitches for strikes, keeps hitters off balance and keeps a low pitch count. As Tyler continues to get stronger, he will have opportunities to pitch at a high level.  In the infield, Tyler takes very good angles to the ball and seems to always get an easy hop.  He has soft hands and works the bag extremely well from both sides on a double play.  Tyler gets great jumps off the bat and has solid range.  In the outfield, Tyler sees the ball well and always knows where to throw the ball.  At the plate, Tyler is very smart.  His swing allows him to use all fields.  He has a very good eye and has a very good idea of what he is trying to do  As Tyler continues to mature, he will be able to play this game at a high level and be a great addition to a college program.

Tyler has committed to play college baseball at West Georgia Technical College.
