Tyler August is Liberty’s power relief weapon with MLB upside
In the 2026 season, Tyler August became Liberty’s workhorse bullpen arm, going 7-0 with a 3.47 ERA over a team-high 28 appearances while holding opponents to a .209 average and striking out 60 in 46 2/3 innings. He’s a 6-3, 250-pound right-hander with a heavy, hard fastball that has reportedly touched near 100 mph, and his profile screams late-inning impact: strikeouts, durability, and poise in high-leverage spots. The Athletics picked him in the 16th round of the 2026 MLB Draft, a nice little “I see you” from pro scouts.
