Tyler Boronski, known as Tbautos512, is an American Youtuber and Sports Reporter that covers the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. Much of Boronski's claim to fame comes from his video interviews with accomplished professional baseball players as well as his unique weekly vlogs that are posted on his YouTube Channel Tbautos512.

Interviews
Boronski grew up as an avid sports fan and would regularly attend different professional sporting events. Throughout those years, Boronski met several sports athletes on the way and always had an interest in interacting with the athlete and even asking the athlete a question. In 2013, after watching an interview on MLB Network, Boronski decided to give it a shot and interviewed his good friend Luis Lopez who played in the MLB with the Toronto Blue Jays and the Montreal Expos.The video quality of that first interview was as Boronski described "pretty bad, but the excitement and joy I had having a major league baseball player one on one and asking him questions created a new passion for me."

From there, Boronski's videos on America's global video-sharing website YouTube took off. Since starting posting on YouTube, Boronski has gone on to interview players that have won World Championships and have been Major League Baseball All-Stars. However, Boronski also enjoys interviewing players that might have only made it to independent baseball or the low levels of the minor leagues. For Boronski it does not matter the qualifications of the player, but its an opportunity to learn more about the player's journey in professional baseball. "One goal of mine when people watch my videos is that they will engage and listen to what the player is saying. Whether the guy played in the Major Leagues or independent baseball, its a chance to learn more about the professional lifestyle and I enjoy sharing the different stories each player has to offer." Some of the most well-known players Boronski has interviewed include current major league players Matt Barnes of the Boston Red Sox, Joe Panik of the San Francisco Giants, and Chien-Ming Wang of the Kansas City Royals. Boronski has also interviewed players such as Dontrelle Willis, Johnny Damon, J.C. Romero, Dan Johnson, Endy Chavez, Butch Hobson, and many more. Several of Boronski's interviews take place at the The Ballpark at Harbor Yard in downtown Bridgeport, Connecticut which is the home of the Bridgeport Bluefish, Boronski's former employer in 2015.

Vlogs
In 2016, Boronski began posting weekly baseball vlogs on his YouTube Channel. On these vlogs, Boronski takes fans with him around the ballpark, where they get to experience the behind the scenes of what everyday life is like at the ballpark. As quoted by Boronski, "the vlogs are just a fun way for me to flim without a script and see what cool things I can capture for the fans. Everyday at the ballpark is different and you never know what to expect so I just try and show people what that's like in the vlogs." Boronski also said he tries and gets as many players in his vlogs as possible and likes to make up different games/questions for the players to answer like Teammates in a glove, Have you ever played with yourself in a video game?, Sports predictions, etc. Boronski has also done a YouTube Collaboration with Justin Jackson (Ball is Life Baseball Vlogs) and plans on doing more collaborations in the future.

Trading Card
Boronski is always carrying trading cards of himself around to give to fans as appreciation for watching his videos. He also gives these "Tbautos512 Trading Cards" away to those that have not seen his videos yet as a way to get them to learn about his YouTube Channel. Boronski has frequently given them away at different ballparks he is at and often times will autograph them in person or through the mail upon request.

Facebook Page
Boronski also has a Facebook Page called "Tbautos512 Interviews". The Facebook Page is an alternative way for fans to see his videos that he posts on his YouTube Channel. Other content on the Facebook Page includes player promo pictures and videos as well as fan giveaways.
