Atlanta Braves 2026 Draft Targets: Tyler Bell
"Tyler Bell is the starting shortstop for the University of Kentucky, and most known as the Rays unsigned second round pick from the 2024 MLB Draft at 66th overall. He's a 6'1', 190-pound prospect who is a switch-hitter that throws right. He is sophomore eligible, so there is only one year of college stats for the former Illinois prep star."
"Offensively his tools are all on the average side. He should be able to hit from both sides of the plate with impact, and has some power - though his hit tool is more on the average side than above. Some work with a pro coaching staff to shore up his weaknesses could eventually get the hit tool to closer to an above average tool, and his speed is also considered as average."
Tyler Bell is the University of Kentucky starting shortstop and was the Rays unsigned second round pick in the 2024 MLB Draft at 66th overall. He is a 6'1", 190-pound right-throwing switch-hitter who is sophomore eligible and has one year of college statistics. In 2025 he hit .296/.385/.522 with 10 home runs, 29 extra-base hits, 11-for-16 in stolen bases, and a 24-to-59 walk-to-strikeout ratio over 265 plate appearances. Offensively his tools are generally average with some power and room for improvement with pro coaching. Defensively his arm, instincts, and actions make him more likely to stick at shortstop than some peers.
