BIOGRAPHY

Tylor Megill was born July 28, 1995, in Long Beach, California. He is a pitcher in the MLB.

Megill signed with the Mets and made his professional debut with the Brooklyn Cyclones, going 1-2 with a 3.21 ERA over 28 relief innings. In 2019, he began the season with the Columbia Fireflies and earned promotions to the St. Lucie Mets and the Binghamton Rumble Ponies during the year. Over 22 games (11 starts) between the three clubs, Megill went 6-7 with a 3.52 ERA, striking out 92 batters over 71+1⁄3 innings. He did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Megill returned to Binghamton, now members of the Double-A Northeast League, to begin 2021. After pitching to a 3.12 ERA over 26 innings with Binghampton, he was promoted to the Syracuse Mets of the Triple-A East League on June 1st.

On June 23, 2021, Megill was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time. He made his first major league start against the Atlanta Braves that day and pitched 4⅓ innings, giving up three hits and two earned runs (one home run allowed) with two walks and four strikeouts on 92 pitches. He earned a no-decision as the Mets won the game by a score of 7–3.

At the start of the 2022 season, Megill was named the team's Opening Day starter due to injuries to Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer. On April 29, 2022, Megill threw the first five innings of a combined no-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies.
