Tyler Kriegler OF/RHP

12/27/2018 - 2018 Inaugural West Coast Winter Classic - La Verne, CA Tyler is an athletic 2023 2-way prospect that was eager to learn and made several adjustments throughout the week. In the OF, Tyler starts in an athletic position and has a quick first step to the ball. He works behind fly balls and creates momentum in his lower half when throwing. Continuing to build arm strength and foot speed will improve his overall skill set at all positions. At the plate, Tyler starts in an athletic stance, hits off a firm front side, and controls the barrel. He needs to load his hands back into the drive position and keep a quiet head. Continuing to attack the inside part of the ball and creating backside drive with his lower half will help him work the ball gap to gap. On the bump, Tyler gathers over the rubber, separates on time, and has a strong glove side. He shows confidence and competes on every pitch. Continuing to work on downhill will improve both his fastball and off speed pitches. Tyler will continue to improve with experience and we hope to see his progress in the future.
