<div></div>
<div><strong>Player: </strong>Tyler Bremner</div>
<div><strong>Hometown: </strong> San Diego, California</div>
<div><strong>Position: </strong>Right-handed Pitcher</div>
<div><strong>Description: </strong>R/R &#8211; 6-foot-2</div>
<div><strong>Program: </strong>University of California &#8211; Santa Barbara</div>

<h3>Background</h3>
<p>Tyler Bremner enters the 2025 draft as one of the more intriguing pitchers available, and certainly one of the top players with Canadian connections. Although he was born in California, his parents are both from Ontario, having met at Western University (London, Ont.).</p>
<p>After attending Scripps High School in San Diego, Bremner spent three seasons with the UCSB Gauchos &#8211; the same school that Blue Jays 2024 6th rounder Aaron Parker attended &#8211; quickly placing himself on the radar of MLB scouts. In his first season with the program in 2023, he split time between starting and relieving, posting a 5.37 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 17 games (8 starts). Despite the satisfactory results, he was able to flash his top-of-the-line strikeout stuff, punching out 80 in just 55 1/3 innings.</p>
<p>The 21-year-old took a huge step forward in 2024, breaking out with the Gauchos in a similar starter/reliever hybrid role. He went 11-1 on the season with a 2.54 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, 104 strikeouts in 88 2/3 innings. His dominant season had some draft publications, like Baseball America, speculating that he could be in the running for the<a href="https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/8-mlb-draft-prospects-who-could-be-the-no-1-overall-pick-in-2025/"> first overall pick</a>.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Tyler Bremner has the most career strikeouts in <a href="https://twitter.com/UCSB_Baseball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@UCSB_Baseball</a> history🙌</p>
<p>The No. 13 draft prospect sits at the top of the leaderboard with 275 K’s.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Bremner worked solely out of the rotation in 2025, producing a 3.49 ERA and 1.02 WHIP across 14 starts. He also tallied his highest strikeout rate in his three collegiate seasons (12.9 K/9), while maintaining an elite walk rate of 2.2 BB/9. Back on May 9th, he collected his 275th career strikeout, setting the UCSB school record. For the second consecutive year, he was named to the All-Big West Conference 1st team.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Bremner&#8217;s mother tragically passed away. As per <a href="https://www.canadianbaseballnetwork.com/2025-mlb-draft-canadian-baseball-network/rhp-tyler-bremner">Canadian Baseball Network</a>, Tyler would like to honour her by playing for Canada at the World Baseball Classic, if given the opportunity.</p>
<h3>Profile</h3>
<p>There is a lot to like about Bremner&#8217;s pitching profile, from his projectable frame (6-foot-2, 190 pounds) to his exciting arsenal pitch mix. The right-hander has two pitches that scouts grade as elite offerings: his mid-90s fastball and changeup.</p>
<p>The fastball has good ride to it and can work as high as 98 miles per hour, with some scouts believing that he can continue to add velocity to it as his body continues to fill out in pro ball. He pairs the fastball with a low-to-mid 80s changeup that may be the best in the draft. The pitch has some serious fade to it, tunnelling well with the fastball to keep hitters off balance. In 2024, he had a whopping 46% swing and miss rate on the changeup.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">In his final seven starts of the season, Tyler Bremner logged double-digit strikeouts in six starts and managed a 74:10 strikeout-to-walk ratio. </p>
<p>With a career high 111 strikeouts, strong granular data and a strong command foundation, could Bremner find himself in the top 15?… <a href="https://t.co/7Nlbc0eYZn">pic.twitter.com/7Nlbc0eYZn</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Baseball America (@BaseballAmerica) <a href="https://twitter.com/BaseballAmerica/status/1937163871644528925?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 23, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Bremner could probably be a successful professional pitcher with the fastball and changeup alone, but the success of his third pitch &#8211; his slider &#8211; will dictate how successful in a starter&#8217;s capacity he can become. The pitch has some gyro-like movement to it, but his lack of command of the pitch led him to become more of a two-pitch pitcher in 2025.</p>
<h3>Draft Potential</h3>
<p>MLB Pipeline has Bremner ranked as the 14th-best prospect in the draft, perhaps putting him on the radar for the <a href="https://bluejaysnation.com/news/2025-mlb-draft-canadian-watchlist-slater-de-brun">Blue Jays</a> to select him with the eighth overall pick. His strikeout stuff (career 12.0 K/9) and low walk rate (2.3 BB/9) give teams a lot to work with, especially considering the profile of his fastball and changeup. How high Bremner goes in the first round will likely depend on how teams view his slider and the likelihood that they can help him develop it into a strong third pitch.</p>
