Tyler Rice is a reliable late-inning arm for North Alabama
In the 2026 season, North Alabama right-hander Tyler Rice gave the Lions a steady relief weapon: 11 appearances, 1 start, a 2.25 ERA, 16.0 innings, 8 strikeouts, 6 walks, and a .214 opponent batting average. He also picked up a save in North Alabama’s March 22 win over Eastern Kentucky, showing he can finish games when the pressure spikes. Rice’s value is poise more than flash — he’s a low-drama, strike-throwing bullpen piece who can help a team that wants experience, composure, and someone who doesn’t blink in the late innings.
