Tyler Avery is Nicholls’ high-leverage righty with swing-and-miss upside
In the 2026 season, Tyler Avery has been a valuable bullpen weapon for Nicholls, flashing run-prevention upside and strikeout ability in key spots, including 3.0 scoreless innings with 3 strikeouts in the upset of No. 10 Southern Miss and a two-hitless-inning outing against Northwestern State. His 2026 line shows both impact and volatility: 26.0 innings, 22 strikeouts, 20 walks, 7.62 ERA, and 1.69 WHIP. At 6-foot-4, he brings the kind of frame and live arm that can fit a staff looking for a power reliever who can handle pressure innings.
