Tyler Osgood
Claremore High School
VYPE: Tyler, what grade are you and what position do you play on the baseball team?
Osgood: I am a sophomore here at CHS and I am a catcher.
VYPE: What do you enjoy most about being a student-athlete at Claremore HS?
Osgood: I love being a student-athlete at Claremore because of the amazing culture and brotherhood we have here inside the walls. Not only do we learn how to be athletes, but we learn how to be men outside of sports. This amazing program produces next level athletes and state championships.
VYPE: What are the goals for the upcoming season?
Osgood: Goals for this season are to be All-District as a Sophomore, break the record for runners thrown out at my school, be a leader on the field and take charge as a catcher. Lastly, get back to state and win it so the people of Claremore can be proud and get back to the glory days of CHS baseball.
VYPE: As for your game, what improvements have you made coming into the new season?
Osgood: My overall catching game has taken a big step forward as I’ve learned a lot more of the game and spent a lot of time on overall defensive aspects of being a catcher. Being a leader and more vocal is something I feel I’ve taken progress in as well.
VYPE: Tell me about your teammates and what they mean to you.
Osgood: My teammates do an amazing job of upholding the standard we have here at Claremore. They support you no matter what inside of baseball and outside. We are like one big family of brothers and wouldn’t want anyone else to go to battle with.
VYPE: Are you involved in any other activities at school?
Osgood: I am running for president of the 2026 Class.
VYPE: Do you have a favorite subject or teacher in school?
Osgood: My favorite subject in school is U.S. History and my favorite teacher is Mr. Lucas Bennett.
VYPE: What would you like to do after you graduate?
Osgood: After I graduate, I would like to get a degree in Marine Biology. My dream college is UCLA which has a great marine biology program.
VYPE: What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Osgood: In my free time I like going up to the Zebra Dome and hit in the cages. I’m a big outdoors guy and love spending time outside hunting and fishing. Spending time with my family and going on family vacations with my mom and dad.
