He\u2019s a hard throwing lefty with life to his fastball and his off-speed [pitches],\u201d said sophomore catcher Robert Fabelo. \u201cAside from having good stuff, he\u2019s a tough-nosed competitor when he\u2019s on the mound<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it\u2019s something that we can all feed off of. He is going to be a big piece to our staff.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Born and raised just outside of Tampa, in Brandon, Florida, Bye grew up in a separated household with his two older sisters, Savannah and Shae. Keeping track of baseball and school between houses was tough, but baseball was always his solace. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bye began his baseball career at East Bay Little League for Bullets Baseball at the age of nine. He quickly discovered he could hit and pitch. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI remember after some games, when I was ten, thinking baseball is what I want to do for the rest of my life,&#8221; Bye said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Riverview High School, Bye was a three-year letterman, two-time team MVP and first team All-State his senior season, going 5-2 with a 2.91 ERA and 61 strikeouts in 43 innings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the 2015 Major League Baseball Draft, Bye received a bevy of calls but none of the teams were willing to meet his demands so he went undrafted and decided to play at USF. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a Bull, Bye appeared in nine games during his freshman season. He struckout 14 batters in just eight innings pitched. After a 2017 season where he did not see the field, Bye decided to seek a different path. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe came down to MDC and threw a bullpen for us and we were very impressed,\u201d said Sharks head baseball coach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/sharks-coach-notches-1200th-career-win\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Danny Price<\/span><\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s a winner, he\u2019s proven, he throws hard from the left side and his academics are great. We signed him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bye, who holds a 3.2 G.P.A, is majoring in finance and hopes to own a financial advisory company after baseball, has already committed to play at the University of Alabama next season. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor me, baseball has always served as a fuel source to work as hard as I can to make myself better in every aspect of my life. I would say that I approach pitching in a very competitive way,\u201d Bye said. \u201cMy pitching coach when I was younger used to tell me \u2018play the game like a lion chasing its food, be relentless and feed yourself and your family\u2019 so I&#8217;ve always held onto that as an idea of how I like to pitch.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sharks\u2019 next game is at the Kendall Campus, 11011 S.W. 104th St., baseball field on Feb. 27 versus St. Thomas University JV \u00a0at 2:30 p.m.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Armed with a 93-MPH fastball with more movement than the Miami Marlins front office, pitcher Garrett Bye is making his presence felt on the mound at Miami Dade College.
