11/09/2017 - Baseball Factory Select Training & Competition in Arizona (Ages 14-18) Tyler is a solid, athletic catcher who has a promising future on the diamond. At the plate is where he shows best through a squared setup. Hands are quick (80 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive approach. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through ha line drive approach. Barrel accuracy is a plus with baseball jumping off the bat when centered. At the event, he was 3 for 6. Behind the plate, feet are aggressive and active as he works in line to his target, through a clean transfer / exchange as he gets rid of the baseball quickly. Pop times show in the 2.23 range with accuracy on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. Glove action is soft and he sticks in the zone. He utilizes his body well through the blocking process and is a wall behind the plate. With 2 years to further develop, Tyler has potential with time and room to progress his game.
