12/27/2012 - Pirate City Christmas Camp and Tournament Tyler is a young shortstop with a very high baseball IQ. He understands the game and runs the defense from the SS position. He has sure, dependable hands in the field and takes good angles on ground balls. His throws are accurate and have good carry across the diamond. With quicker feet he will improve his range and become a complete defender. At the plate, Tyler shows excellent plate discipline and uses his lower half well. His stroke is level and short and he understands his role as a contact bat. Tyler also jumped on the mound and showed a simple, repeatable delivery and a two pitch mix that was effective. Overall, Tyler has two years to continue to develop and should make himself into a solid shortstop prospect for the next level.
