Tyler Hawkins is Bucknell’s 6-4 RHP with late-inning upside and a bounce-back spotlight
In the 2026 season, Tyler Hawkins stands out as a big-bodied right-hander at 6-4, 195 who has already flashed leverage-arm value for Bucknell, including a hitless 2.1-inning relief win on March 14 and his first career save with three scoreless innings in the Patriot League semifinal opener on May 10. His calling card is poise in relief and the ability to miss bats while handling pressure, but the bigger context is durability: he missed much of his 2025 freshman season because of injury after making three appearances. If your staff wants a competitive, versatile reliever with room to grow, he’s a smart fit.
