Career

Myers attended James E. Taylor High School in Katy, Texas,[1] and Rice University, where he played college baseball for the Rice Owls.

Detroit Tigers

The Detroit Tigers selected Myers as a pitcher in the sixth round, with the 185th overall selection, of the 2017 Major League Baseball draft.[2] He made his professional debut with the Low–A Connecticut Tigers, logging a 2.33 ERA in 13 games (12 starts).

Myers did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] He was converted into an outfielder prior to the 2021 season.[6] He played in 45 games split between West Michigan, Lakeland, and the Double–A Erie SeaWolves, hitting .292/.371/.442 with 4 home runs, 24 RBI, and 5 stolen bases.[7] In 2022, Myers split the year between Erie and the Triple–A Toledo Mud Hens. In 121 total games, he batted .267/.315/.489 with career–highs in home runs (25), RBI (77), and stolen bases (21).[8]

Miami Marlins

On December 7, 2022, Myers was selected by the Miami Marlins in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft.[9] He split time between the Double–A Pensacola Blue Wahoos and Triple–A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp to begin the year. On July 3, 2023, the Marlins promoted him to the major leagues for the first time.[10]
