With his size, athletic frame, and clean arm action, House is a projectable left-hander who should continue to see his mid-to-upper-80s velocity climb in the coming years. House also has demonstrated feel for a curveball and changeup, giving him a solid three-pitch repertoire. Over the summer, he transferred from Mount Carmel to Rich Central HS.

But what cemented Rich Central’s residency among the elite was the addition of Tyler House, who’s already committed to Missouri.

The 6-foot-4 left-hander transferred from Mount Carmel over the summer, providing the Olympians with a Big 12 Conference ace.

“Tyler’s a great kid with great leadership skills,” Stallings said. “He’s fit right in. He grew up with these guys. He can be dominating on the mound and he can swing the bat, too.”
