Big-frame UL Monroe freshman with two-way polish and real power upside
Tyler Roark arrived at UL Monroe as a 6-foot-9, 205-pound right-hander who brings rare size and a high-upside arm slot to the Warhawks staff, and he was also a proven high school bat with a .348 average, .469 on-base percentage, 12 RBIs and a home run in 2025. He looks like a classic projectable arm: long, physical, and built to eat innings if the command sharpens. The fit is obvious for a team betting on ceiling, not instant certainty, and his district-player-of-the-year buzz hints at competitive edge to match the tools.
