2023 PBR All-American Game, Spotlight: Tyler Baird
August 21, 2023
On Saturday, Sept. 23, Prep Baseball Report is hosting its inaugural High School All-American Game at American Family Field, home of the Milwaukee Brewers. The unique event will feature the nation’s top high school seniors who are set to battle against a roster of the country’s best juniors in Class of 2024 vs. Class of 2025 action, giving pro scouts a unique look at current and future draft classes.
We’ve begun to unveil the event’s participants on our social media channels, and we’ll spotlight those players more closely on our site, too, highlighting past performances and scouting reports from the live looks we’ve gathered on this gifted group throughout the years.
We're highlighting incoming junior righty Tyler Baird, a top-25-ranked prospect and one of the most talented uncommitted pitching prospects in the nation. Baird, a North Carolina native, wields a low-90s fastball that leaves a lower release height that still generates carry through the zone. Meanwhile, he has a pair of advanced secondaries, a slider that's sharp with effective sweep that complements the heater, as well as a changeup that's really made gains in 2023. He thrived at the 16U National Championships in late June at LakePoint, and we're eager to find out where he ultimately chooses for his college commitment – though there's certainly a chance he's plucked in the '25 Draft before he has a chance to reach any college campus, especially with the way he's continued to trend.
