Vanderbilt hasn’t shied away from locking down the top talent available and during Tuesday afternoon they picked up their latest with righthander Tyler Brown out of Ohio. What the Commodores and Coach Tim Corbin are getting in Brown is a physical, power armed righty who stands 6-foot-2, 230-pounds and possesses both the frame and stuff to project as a starter down the line. The fastball has been clocked in the low-90s in the past with a full and quick arm action and a hard, late breaking ball which he throws for strikes.
Set to begin his junior season at Olentangy Orange in Ohio, this isn’t Vanderbilt’s first time dipping their toes into the Buckeye State as their 2016 class alone has two signees with righthander Christopher Machamer and catcher Tyler Duvall. Like Duvall, Brown is a member of the Midland program based out of Ohio and it continues a nice pipeline between the two programs.
The latest commit to Perfect Game’s top recruiting class for 2017, Brown is the 7th righthander to commit and his Ohio residence represents the 10th different state, plus Cooper Davis who is an Ontario native. With the collegiate season well underway and high school starting up through the country, we can expect to see an uptick in commitments on a national level.
