Prep talk: Tyler Starling of Agoura shows you can try baseball, track at same time

"In the fall, Starling caught 56 passes for 1,158 yards and 14 touchdowns as a receiver. In baseball, he leads the team in hitting with a .362 average and sent his seventh home run over the fence at Agoura near the pool in a playoff win on Friday. He's also a left-handed pitcher. He missed Saturday's baseball practice to compete at the Southern Section Division 3 track finals, where he finished fifth in the long jump with a leap of 22-4 1/2 and also ran on two relay teams."

""He's the best athlete in Ventura County," baseball coach Adam Goldstein said. Starling is 6 feet 1, 205 pounds and committed to UC San Diego for baseball. If someone needs a receiver for intramural football, he can be the ringer. "The guy is a freak athlete," football coach Dustin Croick said."

"Starling has cleared his schedule to hit and pitch - unless his mother comes calling. The baseball team faces Garden Grove Pacifica in a Division 3 playoff game on Tuesday."

Tyler Starling, a student at Agoura High, plays multiple sports while maintaining strong performance in each. In fall football, he recorded 56 receptions for 1,158 yards and 14 touchdowns as a receiver. In baseball, he leads the team with a .362 batting average and hit a seventh home run in a playoff win, while also pitching as a left-handed pitcher. He competed in the Southern Section Division 3 track finals, finishing fifth in the long jump with a leap of 22-4 1/2 and running on two relay teams. Coaches praise his athletic ability, and he is committed to UC San Diego for baseball.
