Fast and Hard: The True Story Behind Matt Tyner’s Redemption
Show Notes
Matthew (Matt) A. Tyner, Sr. is the author of Fast and Hard: From Addictions to Redemption.
Matt Tyner’s story is one of grit, grace, and a gutsy comeback. Once a rising star in the world of baseball—walking on to the elite University of Miami team that made three straight College World Series runs—Matt looked destined for greatness. But behind the accolades and professional contracts with the Baltimore Orioles’ minor league system, he was losing a far more important game: the one with himself.
Years of addiction to drugs and alcohol unraveled everything he had built. His promising career derailed, his relationships fractured, and his life teetered on the edge of collapse. In his gripping memoir Fast and Hard: From Addictions to Redemption, Matt pulls no punches as he recounts his descent into chaos—and the painful reckoning that led to a profound transformation.
Today, Matt Tyner is more than two decades sober and thriving in his second act. As Head Baseball Coach at NCAA Division I Towson University and the founder of MLT Sports Investments, he mentors the next generation with the wisdom only hard-won redemption can bring. Through his motivational platform, Tyner Effect, Matt speaks nationwide about recovery, resilience, and reclaiming your life, no matter how far you’ve fallen.
His past may have been fast and hard—but his future is firmly grounded in purpose, leadership, and service.
