By: Diego Solares
Central Region Media Director, Scouting

Tyler Powell, RHP, Edwardsville, 2025
Uncommitted, ranked No. 89 overall in the Illinois’ 2025 class. Strong, broad-shouldered 6-foot, 185-pound athlete with muscle mass in the lower half, too. Tossed a clean inning out of the ‘pen for Edwardsville, punching out two with an unearned run. Fastball played at 83-85, touching 86 mph, clean out the hand and in the zone for strikes. Spun a handful of low-to-mid-70s breaking balls with sharp tilt at times.
