Description
Tyler Tolve is a free agent professional baseball catcher who was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 17th round of the 2021 MLB Draft. Born on July 16, 2000, in Atlanta, Georgia, the left-handed hitting, right-handed throwing catcher built a strong reputation as a reliable defensive asset and a productive bat during his time in the collegiate ranks and the minor leagues.
Tolve attended Sprayberry High School in Marietta, Georgia, before committing to Kennesaw State University. Playing for the Owls, Tolve quickly established himself as a premier collegiate catcher. Known for his athletic frame (6’1″, 200 lbs) and his ability to hit for a high average from the left side of the plate, he anchored the team’s lineup and defense, culminating in his selection by professional scouts.
The Atlanta Braves drafted Tolve with the 517th overall pick in 2021. He transitioned seamlessly to professional baseball, showcasing solid gap-to-gap power and home run potential throughout the minor leagues. Over his professional journey, he has hit over 30 minor league home runs and played as a hometown favorite for Georgia-based affiliates like the Double-A Columbus Clingstones.
The featured Bruce Bolt Batting Gloves were game worn by Tyler Tolve in 2025 as a member of the Rome Emperors. The Rome Emperors are a Minor League Baseball team that serves as the High-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves. Based in Rome, Georgia, they compete in the South Atlantic League and play their home games at AdventHealth Stadium. Tolve spent the majority of his game time with the High-A Rome Emperors, but he struggled to find his rhythm at the plate due to spending multiple stints on the injured list. He ultimately split his 2025 appearances across the Florida Complex League (FCL Braves), High-A Rome, and a brief two-game stint at the Double-A level. Tolve signed the right glove and added “2025 Game Worn” in silver. The Gloves show good use and were obtained directly from Tyler Tolve!
