Tyler’s career ERA sat around 6.63 across roughly 57 innings pitched, with some good outings mixed in where he kept runners off base or helped close things out.
After wrapping up at Messiah, he didn’t chase pro ball and delved into corporate world. He worked as a finacial representative at Northwestern Mutual for quite a while.
However, later he again engaged himself in sports, moving into coaching for a bit.
Tyler served as a head baseball coach at Shalom Christian Academy in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, for almost 2 years right after college.
At the time of his demise, Tyler had been working at Amazon for almost a decade in several designations.
So far, his family hasn’t published details regarding Tyler’s funeral and memorial services.
During this challenging time, we pray for the strength of Tyler’s wife, kids, colleagues, friends, and extended family.
Rest In Heavenly Peace, Tyler Moody!
