I'm telling you, I am convinced those are antiquated numbers pulled from late HS or as he was entering college. Here his collegiate player page:

So I am not taking crazy pills. Wright State and all the draft scouting reports had him listed as 6'2 and everywhere now has him listed at 5'10...what's going on? 

RIght? It's really weird. LOL.

Okay but why would the Biloxi team page being pulling from HS numbers? They have him as 5'10 190

I have no meaningful answer for you. Unfortunately, I can't text Tyler to get a response from the source.

@ARobsBrewCrew any chance you know how tall Tyler Black actually is haha?

[wiguy94]

So I know this angle isn't great, but Tyler Black is standing next to Ethan Murray who is listed as 5'10, 201 lbs. If Ethan Murray is 5'10, 201 lbs then there's no way Black is 5'10 190lbs.

Exactly. You should see him next to Valerio. 😅

6'2" 220. That's my take.

I feel like 6' or 6'1" and 210 lbs is probably more realistic.

You take one look at that Norfolk lineup and you understand why they are 45-23...Baltimore is going to be a terrifying team within the next couple of years.

Sounds down 4-2 in the 6th with Naquin on 2nd and no outs. Jackson hits a rope to right center and tries to stretch a double into a triple but fails and makes the 1st out at 3rd.

Kind of speechless at a AAA veteran making that terrible of a baserunning decision. Expect something like that in A ball not AAA.

[Joseph Zarr]

Boy those RHP Thyago Vieira feel good moments of his first nine outings have fallen to the wayside over his last six appearances. And, the wheels really fell off in tonights 4-spot. That's a really rough month of June so far. He was already flirting with a 7.11 ERA with a 2 + WHIP in his first five appearances this month. I don't want to look after tonight's 'yowch!' 😅

[Joseph Zarr]

I will also point out, the Sounds were 2-for-16 with RISP. The Tide were 2-for-5. Lotta opportunities.

Damon Dues (left) listed at 6’0” and Konner Piotto (center) listed at 5’9”.  I have no idea why the organization would choose to be so conservative and maybe it’s a weird angle, but I believe he is closer to 6’2” than 5’10”.

BAM @wiguy94. 😅

Now, I'm just sayin' because I'm just sayin', he has packed on some pounds since last year. He came into 2022 already looking like a gym rat. He was clearly chiseled and had the frame to add some pounds. I'm telling you, he is easily 215-220. He is ripped.

I don’t feel comfortable about Black’s defense yet, especially with the switch from 2B to 3B. I don’t know why they switched him, but I can’t believe it was because he was so great at 2B.  I hope that they give him a shot to play 1B, as well. 
And why Black is listed at 5’10” is super confusing. Every athlete right down to grade school will be listed at how tall they actually are or a couple inches taller, not 4 inches shorter. Never seen this before…
