Mike Tyree
Starting Pitcher | New York Yankees
Pitching He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Tyree also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Runners do not get a good jump on Tyree... many have noted that his motion is difficult to pick up. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Tyree is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Tyree has some pop in his swing.
