Waterloo, IA – The Waterloo Bucks have announced that right-handed pitcher Tyler Day has signed to play with Waterloo for the 2015 season. Day, 
a junior at Stephen F. Austin State University, is the 11th player to be named to the Bucks’ roster for the team’s 21st season.
Day transferred to Stephen F. Austin from Blinn Junior College where he appeared in five games as a sophomore for the Buccaneers. The 6’1”, 170-pounder finished with a 5.51 ERA, striking out 12 in 16.1 innings pitched. As a freshman, Day appeared in 15 games, finishing with a 1-1 record, a 2.70 ERA, and 16 strikeouts.
“Tyler is a righty that will see some time in SFA’s bullpen and will have a chance to be a mid-week starter for the Lumberjacks,” said Bucks general manager Dan Corbin. “He has a solid mix of pitches and we expect him to challenge for a spot in our starting rotation when he gets to Waterloo.”
Born January 22, 1994, Day is a native of San Antonio, Texas. Tyler is the son of Steve and Jenny Day.
The Bucks, the winningest team in all of summer-collegiate baseball over the past two years, will open the 2015 season on the road versus the Alexandria Blue Anchors on May 26, but return to Waterloo for their home opener versus the Mankato MoonDogs on May 28.
