Tiroly enjoyed a productive freshman year in which he hit .284/.420/.525 with 19 extra-base hits and 42 RBIs. He followed suit with a breakout summer in the Perfect Game League and hit .341/.415/.508 with 16 extra-base hits. Tiroly rode that momentum and then some into this spring and posted a .377/.481/.749 slash line with 16 doubles, 18 home runs, 70 RBIs and 36 walks to just 25 strikeouts. Tiroly has a strong build and stands at six feet, 200 pounds. He has a strong, quick swing with comfortably-plus hand speed. Tiroly’s batted-ball data is impressive, and this spring he had an average exit velocity of 94.8 mph and a 90th percentile exit velocity of 108.9. He has a high-level feel for the barrel and generates consistent quality contact. Tiroly has no issue pulling the ball in the air, which enables him to optimize his power in-game. Tiroly figures to take over at second base for new coach Chris Pollard and the Cavaliers.
