Taylor opened his career in the competitive Mission League by playing on the lower levels at Notre Dame High School, but his athletic upside was on display during the workout. A wiry present athletic build Taylor stands at 5'10 158.1 lbs., but has the upside to add strength as he matures while showing the athleticism to stay up the middle defensively. He ran 7.17 60 yard time with 1.68 10 yard and 3.92 30 yard splits while approaching 19 MPH on his max run speed. The SoCal based product boasts present arm strength that will catch your eyes (it showed up during his outing on the mound later in the week) and reached 89 MPH from the OF with carry and accuracy to his throws. At the plate he showcased an athletic operation in the box which also impressed VP of Scouting Shooter Hunt during his round. Taylor sprayed hard line drives around PK Park including ones that were up to 95.8 MPH of exit velocity with 324' max distance and a 78% sweet spot rate. The RH hitter gets there with a compact swing producing nearly 70 MPH of bat speed and quick hands that move at 22.9 MPH during the swing while producing 11.4 Gs of rotational acceleration. All in all Taylor showed that he has the realistic two-way player profile for the present and could make a case that he has the potential to do both going forward with his workout performance.
