213 Miles From Shea - Get To Know A 2021 Non-Roster Invitee: Tylor Megill


Tylor Megill is the first pitcher in several days that were writing about here who is primarily a prospect. He was drafted in the 8th round in 2018 and could see some time in Queens this year, otherwise he’ll break into the bigs next year. Tylor is 6’7″ which is one of those things you can’t teach a pitcher (his brother was a Rule 5 Draft pick for the Cubs and is 6’8″). MLB’s Prospect Page (formerly The Pipeline) give’s his pitches and profile the following grades:

  • Fastball 55
  • Slider 55
  • Changeup 40
  • Control 45
  • Overall 40

He’s currently the #28 prospect in the Mets system according to MLB.com and Baseball America ranked him the #30 prospect in the Mets system back in 2019. If the Pandemic doesn’t happen, Megill would have started last year off in Binghamton or in Syracuse.

Amazing on Megill that Fastball 55
Slider 55
Changeup 40
Control 45

But overall, that works out to a 40. "Overall 40"

Seems logically it should be a 45 or 50. And if he was topping out at 98, maybe that FB is more of a 60 than a 55. Just sayin'.
