A Northwest Missouri State baseball assistant coach made his debut in the Mexican Pacific Winter League Wednesday night.
Tyler Jandron, the Bearcats pitching coach, took the mound for the Jaguares de Nayarit against the Algodoneros de Guasave. Jandron tossed a scoreless inning out of the bullpen, allowing one hit and two walks, while striking out a batter.
With the lefty's help, the Jaguares won 3-0.
Tyler Jandron is the younger brother of Northwest head baseball coach Tony Jandron. Tyler joined the staff as a volunteer assistant when Tony took the reins of the program last spring. The Bearcats posted their first winning record in eight years and reached the MIAA Tournament Championship for the first time in program history.
