At just twenty-two years of age, the Mariners (now Atlanta Braves) Tyler Pike already has a lot of minor league experience under his belt.
Over his five years of minor league experience, Pike’s numbers have fluctuated; more so as the talent he was facing grew harder.
In his first years of rookie and single-A ball, Pike was magnificent. He hurled the ball with mastery. In one hundred and sixty-one innings, Pike tossed one hundred and forty-seven K’s. He also managed to give up few hits, bringing his two-year H/9 total to 6.00.
Yet, as he rose up the ranks, Pike’s numbers took a drastic hit.
