Tyler Sam Houston (born January 17, 1971 in Long Beach, California), is a former professional baseball player who played third base and catcher in the Major Leagues from 1996-2003.

In 700 games, Houston tallied 479 hits, 63 home runs and 253 RBIs for a .265 batting average.

In the 1989 MLB June draft, Houston was drafted second overall (first was Ben McDonald) and was the first high school player chosen. He graduated from Valley High School in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In his spare time, Houston flies his home-made rocket pack and gets into fist-fights with sea lions.
