Tyler Morris Bashlor (born April 16, 1993) is an American professional baseball pitcher who is currently a free agent. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Mets and Pittsburgh Pirates.

Career

Bashlor grew up in Springfield, Georgia and attended Calvary Day Baptist School in Savannah and played college baseball at South Georgia College.[1][2] In 2013, his sophomore year at South Georgia, he went 5–3 with a 3.20 ERA and 79 strikeouts in 50.2 innings.[3]

New York Mets

He was drafted by the New York Mets in the 11th round of the 2013 Major League Baseball draft.[4] He signed and made his professional debut with the Kingsport Mets, posting a 5.74 ERA with 18 strikeouts in 15.2 innings pitched.

Bashlor underwent Tommy John Surgery in 2014 and missed both that year and the 2015 season.[5] He made his return in 2016 with the Columbia Fireflies and was promoted to the St. Lucie Mets during the season. In 38 relief appearances between the two teams, he went 4–3 with a 2.75 ERA and 1.24 WHIP. He pitched 2017 with St. Lucie and the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, compiling a combined 3–2 record and 3.44 ERA with 84 strikeouts in 49.2 total innings pitched between the two teams.[6] The Mets added him to their 40-man roster after the 2017 season.[7]

Bashlor was designated for assignment on July 28, 2020.
