08/20/2017 - College PREP - Lebanon (Nashville), TN Tyler continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities and he has a promising future on the diamond. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date. At the plate is where he has improved the most, now displaying outstanding hitting abilities with well above average power through an athletic setup. Hands are quick (86 mph exit velocity) and work to and through a level swing path, creating extension. He has strength in his swing and shows a solid feel for the barrel with power showing best to the pull side. At 3B, defensive abilities are now well above average as he shows smooth / athletic actions. He displays proper footwork in attacking balls and playing through well. Hands are soft / sure but will benefit by presenting more out front. Range will increase as he continues to improve foot quickness. Throws are accurate with carry across the diamond but needs to build more arm strength through a long toss program.
