Two Tyler Talks with four teams in the Florida Collegiate Summer League and a #3for3 Challenge.

These burpees, pins, and wristbands are a reminder that checking in on one another, talking about mental health, and creating space for honest conversations can make all the difference.

Thank you to the players and coaches across the Florida League for embracing the challenge and helping us champion mental wellness in baseball. Every conversation moves us one step closer to ending the stigma.

We love you Miss Berkleigh, everyone should have an Ella Langley doppelgänger and mental health advocate in their lives! We are very grateful for you, Berk!❤️❤️❤️

For the second summer in a row, we’re incredibly proud to partner with Hilinski’s Hope in bringing one of the most important conversations in sports to our student-athletes.

Baseball is about so much more than wins and losses. Behind every jersey is a person navigating pressures, expectations, and challenges that aren’t always visible. Through Tyler Talks, we’re continuing to break the stigma surrounding mental health and remind every athlete that asking for help is a sign of strength not weakness.

Creating a culture where our players know they’re seen, heard, and valued beyond the game will always be bigger than baseball.
A huge thank you to the Hilinski family for sharing Tyler’s story and inspiring hope, healing, and honest conversations that will continue long after this summer ends 💚

These are some of our rawest, most powerful Tyler Talks. No stage. No podium. Just players, coaches, Mark and Kym, sitting inches apart in locker rooms, and reminding these young men that their mental health matters.

None of this happens without sideline reporter, Berkleigh Mezzanotte. Her advocacy has opened doors, built relationships, and helped carry Tyler’s message into clubhouses across The Coastal Plain and Florida Collegiate Wood Bat Summer Baseball Leagues.

We’re equally grateful to the commissioners, team owners, and coaches who understand that supporting their players’ mental wellness isn’t optional. It’s essential. When leaders create space for these conversations, it can change lives. It can save lives.

To the Leesburg Lightning, Orlando Snappers, Sanford River Rats, and DeLand Suns, thank you for welcoming us into your locker rooms and trusting us with this Conv3rsation, it matters! ❤️❤️❤️ #pleasestay #youarenotalone
