Kyle Wade Tyler (born December 27, 1996) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Amateur career[]

Tyler attended Westmoore High School in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where he was named the Oklahoma Gatorade Player of the Year as a senior after going 10-0 with a 0.70 ERA and 102 strikeouts over sixty innings.[1] After graduating, he played college baseball at the University of Oklahoma where he went 6-2 with a 2.97 ERA over 66+2⁄3 innings as a junior.[2] Following the end of his junior year, he was selected by the Los Angeles Angels in the 20th round of the 2018 Major League Baseball draft.[3][4]

Professional career[]

Tyler signed and made his professional debut with the Orem Owlz of the Rookie Advanced Pioneer League, posting a 5.11 ERA over 24+2⁄3 innings.[5] In 2019, he played with the Burlington Bees of the Class A Midwest League and was promoted to the Inland Empire 66ers of the Class A-Advanced California League during the season. Over 25 games (18 starts) with both teams, he went 10-1 with a 2.59 ERA and 106 strikeouts.[6] He did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[7] He began the 2021 season with the Rocket City Trash Pandas of the Double-A South and was promoted to the Salt Lake Bees of the Triple-A West in early August.[8] Over twenty games (14 starts) between both clubs, Tyler went 6-4 with a 3.66 ERA and 92 strikeouts over 86 innings.[9]

On August 28, 2021, the Angels selected Tyler's contract and promoted him to the major leagues.[10] He made his MLB debut on September 5 at Angel Stadium against the Texas Rangers, throwing three scoreless innings of relief while giving up one hit and striking out two.[11] Tyler pitched a total of 12+1⁄3 innings for the Angels in 2021, giving up four runs while both walking and striking out six.
