12/27/2024 - Baseball Factory East Coast Winter Classic (MS) Tyler continues to establish himself as a promising prospect, showcasing improved defensive abilities behind the plate and a developing power profile at bat. He presents a soft, sure mitt with strong pocket awareness, using his body effectively for blocking balls out front. His pop times now stand at 2.56, and a long toss program will help him further lower those times by building arm strength. Offensively, Tyler’s power has become increasingly apparent, with an open setup and quick hands (82 mph exit velocity) working through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields via a line-drive approach and flashing gap-to-gap pop thanks to an aggressive hip turn in his lower half. A coachable, team-focused player, Tyler is poised to keep elevating his game.
