Richmond freshman RHP Aaron Van Tuyle brings size, pedigree, and multi-sport competitiveness to the mound
In the 2026 season, Aaron Van Tuyle has worked as a freshman right-hander for Richmond, logging 15.0 innings with a 7.20 ERA and 12 strikeouts, and his recent outings have shown he can pitch in pressure spots and settle into clean innings when his command is on[2][8][9][10]. What makes him intriguing goes beyond the line score: Richmond lists him at 6-foot-2, 190 pounds, notes he was a three-year varsity starter and team MVP in high school, and he also competed as a four-year varsity swimmer—signals of athleticism, competitiveness, and body control that coaches usually love[1][5].
