NEW YORK, N.Y. - The San Francisco Giants made Embry-Riddle right-handed pitcher Tyler Cyr their 10th round selection on day two of the 2015 Major League Baseball Draft, making the Fremont, Calif. native the second-highest drafted Eagle in program history. Cyr was the 306th overall selection, trailing on Daniel Poncedeleon's 285th spot in last year's draft.

Cyr, a two-year player for the Eagles, had a breakout season as a junior, earning second team All-Sun Conference honors with a 7-5 record and 3.14 ERA over 17 appearances (15 starts). Cyr tossed two complete games and totalled 86.0 innings of work with 98 strikeouts and just a .213 batting average against. Cyr helped the Eagles to the 2015 Sun Conference Tournament title, NAIA National Championship Opening Round - Daytona Beach Bracket crown and a third-place showing at the Avista-NAIA World Series.

Cyr extends Embry-Riddle's streak to nine consecutive years with a player selected in the MLB Draft. The Giants have previously drafted two Eagles: Bryan Carter (OF) in the 42nd round of the 2000 draft and Austin Goolsby (C) in the 49th round of the 2009 draft.

Cyr was the fourth NAIA player selected in the draft and and was the fourth right-handed pitcher chosen by the defending World Series champion Giants.
