Early lifts, late innings, and a playlist for both. I’m Tyler TJ Smith, a baseball player at Cypress College from Costa Mesa, California. I play outfield and first base, throw right, and hit left. I’m studying communications and working toward playing baseball at a four-year university. Outside of baseball, I’m into golf, strength training, and music—especially whatever gets me going before a 7 a.m. workout. I’ve also volunteered with Little League, helping coach, umpire, and work the snack bar. Having been that kid looking up to older players, I enjoy being someone younger athletes can turn to. I’d love to connect with brands that fit my everyday life and create content that feels like me—training, competing, and having fun along the way.
