RHP Tyler Tylka (Wauconda, 2024) provided our staff with a strong look over the weekend, cruising at 85-86 mph with ride through the zone and pairing off a sharp 11/5 breaking ball at 72-75 mph (2400 RPM). He also went to a changeup to change pace, working at 79-80 mph. Easy and loose operation with more in the tank.
RHP Tyler Tylka (Wauconda, 2024) takes the mound at an upside 6-foot-4, 185-pounds with room to add strength as he continues to mature physically. He’s an intentful mover downhill that controls his levers well for his size, pumping his fastball up to 86.1 mph, while pitching in the low-80s as his outing went on. Off his fastball, a true sweeping breaking ball in the low-70s that reached upwards of 17 inches of horizontal movement. He also killed spin and lift on a straight changeup at 74-77 mph.
