11/18/2012 - College PREP - Des Moines, IA Kyle is a thick 1B with a strong lower half that will graduate in 2013. Feet are active as he displays proper footwork around the bag, displaying clean hands. He needs to attack ground balls, increase foot quickness and present hands more out front to continue to improve defensive grade. Throws are accurate but needs to build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, Tijerina shows an athletic setup with rhythm. Hands are quick, flashing bat speed through a level swing path. He has strength in his swing with the baseball exploding off his bat when centered. He will hit with power at the next level.
