Tyler Becker’s Amazing 2018 is Catching the Eyes of Many
(Photo Credit: Chris Bergmann) The HCBL is full of elite five-tool players with hopes of elevating their baseball careers. The league is made for athletes who may not have been on a scout’s prospect list, but have a ceiling to make a name for themselves. Nobody has taken that opportunity and ran with it quite like Westhampton’s Tyler Becker. “I think he is the best overall player in the Hamptons League,” Bill Ianniciello, coach of the North Fork Ospreys and Becker’s assistant coach at Adelphi University, said. “He is an all-around player. He hits for average, hits for power and his range defensively is really impressive.” Becker hits at the top of the order and starts at shortstop for an Aviators team that has already clinched a playoff berth. He ranks third in the HCBL in RBIs and home ru...

Insider Notes: Adelphi vs NYIT
Our reporter, Nick Vecchione, was on the scene Saturday for NYIT-Adelphi double header. Here are his scouting observations from a former Div-I player for our Premium Axcess Members. So it was a much anticipated wait to finally get to see the surging Panthers of Adelphi in action, and on Saturday they did not disappoint. On a gorgeous sunny day, that I thought would never come, on the beautiful Westbury campus of New York Tech, a 6 Foot sophomore out of Eastport-South Manor sets the tone out of the 2 hole for the rest of the lineup. Tyler Becker is the prototypical top of the lineup stick, possessing versatility as to what he can do in the box. Being a situational hitter seems to be a strength of his, and something he takes pride in. He throws his personal success to the side, making it se...
