Tyler Kropis brings left-handed upside and arm strength to ETSU
Kropis is a 6-foot-2 left-handed pitcher for East Tennessee State with a sturdy 200-pound frame and enough versatility to appear as both a pitcher and first baseman in recruiting data. Publicly available game metrics show an 87 mph fastball and usable secondary pitches, which suggests a developmental arm with real mound traits rather than a pure projection play. His recruiting profile and commitment to ETSU point to a player with college-level upside, but the available data is limited, so he looks more like a upside-driven fit for a staff that values size, left-handedness, and room to grow than a polished finished product.
