Tyler Zuber was born and raised in White Hall, Arkansas. His hometown high school team won a state championship in his junior year. After four years at Arkansas State University where he struck out 80 batters in 52 plus innings his senior year, the Kansas Royals grabbed him in the 6th round of the 2017 MLB draft. Primarily in a closer role throughout his different levels in the minors, he blazed through hitters in the Carolina and Texas Leagues in 2019.
Recording 21 saves, posting a 0.94 WHIP and holding batters to a .181 average were just a few of his jaw-dropping numbers.
