PBR Staff

We continue our coverage of uncommitted players, spotlighting them to help maximize their exposure and assist them in the recruiting process. Today, we look at 2022 RHP Tyler Avery (Bishop Gorman).

Body: 6-foot-3, 220 pounds. Thick, athletic build. Proportionate throughout his frame. Athletic for his size. 

Delivery: Starts tall on far left side of the rubber. Hands begin at his belt. Slow, rhythmic delivery. Big swinging leg kick into a tall/tilt delivery. Does have some inconsistency with his hand break causing his arm to drag. Level shoulders at release with quality extension over his front side. Lands on line to home with a slight finish to the 1B side.

Arm Action: Quick, extra loose arm. High 3/4 arm slot. The looseness in his arm does cause some inconsistencies in the zone, but when his timing is on, he is very effective. 

FB: Max 89 mph. Sat 85-88 mph. Avg. Spin Rate - 2201 RPM. Creates some downhill action. Flashes of cut. Locates around the zone and when he commands inside the zone, the cut/run combo proves very effective.

CB: 74-76 mph. Avg. Spin Rate - 2505 RPM. 11/5 shape with some late bite. More effective the farther he gets it out front.
