Notes

Comments

3/18/25
Profile: Stocky, compact, 5-foot-10, 185 pounder w strength and twitch. 6.94 runner in the 60-yard dash with a 90 mph OF arm to pair. Likely fits best in RF at the next level but has upside in CF. Some of the best force-plate measures of the event with 29-plus standing vertical. Force production is evident in the box. Present plus bat speed in controlled-but-violent rotational right-handed swing. Exit reached over 105 mph for present above average raw power and chances of plus to be developed. Fast barrel works w above average feel. Actions - Offense: Sets up in wide, grounded stance and uses a hovering leg lift stride to pair with an active hand load. Looks to do damage w dangerous intent. More-level path leads to present gap-to-gap power with flashes of it shown to the pull-side. Rotates down. Defense: Aggressive athlete w quick, twitchy arm. Summation: Taylor is coming off an injury-plagued sophomore season and reintroduced himself with a bang with standout force production data. Point blank, Taylor is ultra-twitchy and uses the ground to his advantage to create the aforementioned present plus bat speed. His barrel is in the way of the baseball for a long time with the ability to make hard contact to all fields prevelant. It is more of a strength over speed type athlete, but he is an above average runner underway. Taylor is a savvy, hard-nosed, throwback type kid that has a real chance to impact the game at the next level with his abilities at the plate.
6/04/24

One of the twitchiest hitters in the 2026 class, Taylor put on a show during batting practice with 5 of his 10 batted balls in batting practice leaving the bat at 97 mph or better. Taylor's best ball left the bat at 102.5 mph, and he showed some of the best bat speed / rotational abilities of any hitter at the event. Taylor stands out in a showcase setting due to a very well-rounded toolset. He is a 6.79 runner, to go along with possessing an 89 mph arm from the outfield, which only adds to what the bat provides to the profile. 

3/11/23

Position Profile: OF/2B
Body: 5-8, 160-pounds. Lean, athletic build - tons of twitch.
Hit: RHH. Athletic setup. Uses a controlled, leg kick stride w/ quiet hands in the load. Twitch helps to create advanced bat speed for a '26. Path matches plane & works uphill. Advanced hitter for class.
Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 85.2 mph. 293' max distance.
Arm: RH. OF-84 mph. Loose arm action from an OTT slot.
Defense: Athletic feet, sure hands, quick exchange.
Run: 7.07 runner in the 60.
