A transfer from the University of Florida, Tyler Palmer joins the plethora of Sunshine State denizens who will trek to the Berkshires this summer looking to bring versatility at the plate and in the field to Joe Wolfe Field.

This season, Palmer had an instant impact with the nationally ranked Hurricanes, who hosted a regional in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Palmer finished the year with a .250 batting average in 46 games with 38 hits. He notched eight doubles, four homers and 20 RBI while going 10-for-13 in stolen bases, ranking second on the squad in swiped bags. Defensively, he has seen most of his time in the outfield as opposed to his listed position as a third baseman.

Palmer was named High Honorable Mention on Rawlings' Preseason All-America Team and earned first-team All-Broward Country as a senior after hitting .610 with 37 RBI, 24 stolen bases and six homers at the University School of Nova Southeastern.

The son of Gaspar and Mary, Tyler has one brother, Richie, and is pursuing a degree in Exercise Physiology.
