#19 Tyler Spickler
Coaches Comments - "Tyler has been a top contributor
since his arrival on campus over four years ago and going into his final season
we are expecting him to have his best season yet. Tyler had a good fall camp as he continued to
hone his game and make adjustments that will allow him to realize his
goals. Looked upon by his teammates as a
leader, Tyler does so by displaying a solid work ethic and a willingness to
serve as a mentor to younger players in the program. This spring, Tyler will work both as a
starter and as a spot pitcher in certain situations. We expect Tyler to close out his SAU career
with a great year."
