Tyler
Hofmann

6/25/15: The 6-foot-3 220 pound physical outfielder ran a 7.00 60 yard dash.  Exit velocity was 89mph.  Offensively, Tyler has a balanced setup and short stride. Load is smooth, Bat speed is fast. Showed the ability to get to extension, producing gap power.  Rhythm is a little stiff  Defensively, Tyler has above average hands and fluid footwork in both the INF and OF. Throws were accurate with carry.  Velocity from the outfield was 87.  On the mound, his fastball sat 85-87.  Breaking ball was 68-71 with gradual break.  Change-up was erratic at 65-68.  Pitches from a 3/4 slot with a short, quick arm action.  Shows some rhythm in the delivery with level shoulders.  Good line to the plate, tendency to land open.  Finishes athletic.  

4/29/15: Tyler continued to impress offensively as he had LN’s big hit with a double to RCF on a first pitch fastball.  He just missed on an F9 as well.  He showcases bat speed and explosiveness.  Chased a few pitches but overall was impressive at plate.  Defensively, he had some tough plays that he didn’t execute on.  Projects more in the OF or a corner INF spot. 

4/9/15: Strong, physical, athletic 6-foot-4, 215 pounder.  Starts at short-stop, but projects more in the OF or on the mound.  Still raw in a lot of areas, but has the athleticism and size to make up for it.  The right-handed hitter shows pop at the plate, consistently barreling up the baseball.  Lower half needs work. Showed a strong arm across the diamond.  On the mound yesterday was 84-86, touching 87-88 on multiple occasions, but erratic in the zone.
