RHP Tyler Dowling (Bloomington, 2025) is an upside arm to follow in the state’s incoming-senior class. Currently ranked No. 178 in the state, Dowling impressed with his ability to spin the breaking ball at the event. His curveball averaged over 2500 rpm (T2701) while sitting 70-72 mph with depth through the zone. His fastball sat 81-82 mph with occasional arm-side action. He completed his arsenal with a 75-78 mph changeup that played with arm-side fade (avg. 14.4” HM).
A lean, 6-foot-2, 161-pound frame, Dowling showed well in Top Tier’s two games this Monday. The left-hander batter racked up four hits, one being a double and a walk. In the box, Dowling shows a simple powerful swing that is direct to the ball. He is able to generate easy power and finds barrels driving the ball to all parts of the field. He also came in relief during their first game, closing it out with a fastball sitting 77-79 mph, topping at 81 mph, along with a curveball sitting 66-68mph.
