Tyler Skaggs (July 13, 1991 – July 1, 2019) was an American left-handed starting pitcher in professional baseball. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Angels from 2012 until his death. Born in Woodland Hills, California, Skaggs was a supplemental first-round selection for the Angels in the 2009 MLB draft. Traded to the Diamondbacks in 2010, he made his MLB debut in 2012. Traded back to the Angels in December 2013, he was fifth in the team's rotation until an ulnar collateral ligament injury in 2014 and subsequent Tommy John surgery derailed his career. After a visiting game in 2019, Skaggs was found unresponsive in his hotel room in Southlake, Texas, and was pronounced dead the same day. An autopsy concluded that he had accidentally died of asphyxia after aspirating his own vomit while under the influence of fentanyl, oxycodone, and alcohol. His team wore patches with No. 45, his uniform number, for the rest of the season in his memory.
