Tools: Fastball: 45. Slider: 55. Curveball: 60. Changeup: 45. Control: 40.

Tygart has some of the best feel for spin in the 2024 class and has been known for his breaking stuff since his prep days. A 6-foot-2, 215-pound righthander with a low three-quarters slot, Tygart spent time as both a starter and reliever during his first two seasons with Arkansas but transitioned to a full-time starter role for the first time in 2024. Tygart posted a 3.94 ERA over 59.1 innings and 13 starts this spring with a 26% strikeout rate and 13.6% walk rate. He sits in the low 90s and touched 95 this spring—though he has been up to 97 in the past—and relies on a vicious, two-plane breaking ball in the mid 70s with spin rates that get up to 2,900 rpm. The pitch features tremendous depth and horizontal movement and was his primary secondary this spring, though he also has a hard slider around 80 mph with tons of sweeping life and mid-80s changeup that he uses as often as his curveball against lefthanded hitters. Tygart is a below-average strike-thrower who profiles best as a reliever in pro ball and never threw more than the 59.1 innings he managed in 2024 in college. He missed some time in 2023 with a sprained UCL.
