Tyler Kim is emerging as a reliable late-inning arm for NJIT
In the 2026 season, NJIT right-hander Tyler Kim has flashed real value in relief, including a win over Saint Peter’s with three strong innings and a save against Bryant, while also striking out four in two innings against Niagara[8][10][12]. The shape of his profile is simple and appealing: he can miss bats, handle leverage, and has already shown he can close games when the margin gets thin[8][10]. The upside is obvious for a staff looking for a competitive, strike-throwing arm who doesn’t shrink when the temperature rises.
