Unsigned Senior Spotlight: LHP Tyler Okihiro
March 19, 2025
The winter schedule has come to a close as players are now beginning to get their season's underway. The 2025 preseason showcase schedule featured the first-ever Hawaii Preseason Invitational which was an eight-team tournament to open up the year that saw all positional players run through a pro-style workout alongside our tech partners, while we also collected updated TrackMan pitching data on all arms during gameplay.
Our staff had eyes on over 100 players and with the season finally here, there is still a ton of quality uncommitted talent still on the board in Hawaii's senior class. Over the next couple weeks, our staff will begin highlighting some of these names who need to be on the radar of college coaches looking to roundout their 2025 class.
We continue our Top Uncommitted Senior Spotlight Series with '25 LHP Tyler Okihiro of Mid-Pacific Institute. Okihiro is one of the top unsigned left-handers in the State and impressed at the Hawaii Fall Showcase and West Coast Games with his strike-throwing abilities.
Scouting Report
6 foot LHP who made a name for himself, as far as Prep Baseball Hawaii is concerned, with a dominant performance at West Coast Games. Plus running FB's up to 87 from L3/4 slot and plus angle/width, good shape to CB with ability to locate and miss down, CHG was his best secondary and out-pitch as bottom fell out of it for swing-over K's. Strike-throwing, nothing straight, pitch-to-contact, tough-to-barrel crafty LHP's are pitchers you can trust as a DI pitching coach knowing what you'll likely get each time out. Plenty of room for added strength, plenty of upside and one who ends up at a DI in the end.
