06/22/2012 - Maryland Select Training & Competition Tyler is a 2017 graduate who pitches and plays shortstop. In the field Tyler has firm hands and active footwork. He has agile range and makes clean and sound feeds and pivots around the bag at 2nd. Would like to see him have a more athletic fielding position as he tends to set up high. At the plate, Tyler has an athletic set up with a closed stance. He takes a short stride and uses his lower half well. His bat speed is average and his bat path is level. Would like to see him have a smoother load and work on letting the ball travel to be more consistent with his timing and rhythm. On the mound, Tyler has a good mound presence and gets to a good balance point. He keeps the ball down and throws strike with his fastball and his change up. He knows how to pitch and can command both of his pitches well. He rushes at times and it causes him to fly open, but it should be a quick fix with his athletic ability and his willingness to learn. Tyler is a very coachable player and will continue to improve with hard work.
