Tyler Kropis: 1B/LHP, (2025) Seekonk, MA. 6-foot-3, 205-pound athletic projectable frame. Projectable and athletic in the box, the left-handed hitter had a max exit velocity of 95 mph. Starts in a balanced athletic stance with a wrapping controlled load, then uses a small stride. Had quick developing bat speed, uphill loose swing plane and good extension on his finish. Found lots of barrels with loud contact. Gap to gap aggressive approach. Athletic projectable in the infield, his best throw was registered at 78 mph; shows soft hands, a natural exchange, and athletic developing feet.

Projectable on the mound, showed a high ¾ arm angle and a loose consistent arm action with above average developing arm speed. Feel type pitcher who shows some effort. Balance point is tall with in line shoulders during delivery. Lands closed with a falling off finish.
