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.
