Positional Profile: OF/RHP
Body: 5-10, 182-pounds. Compact frame
Hit: RHH. Hits from a somewhat narrow stance with balance. Compact hand load with simple, short stride forward. Swing is fundamental and works on-plane. Consistent BP round. Good runner.

+ '27 OF Lucas Taylor (Heritage) showed a short, simple, playable swing during batting practice. The lower half is stable and paired with a short hand load and he lands in a good position to hit with above-average separation. The path is short and on-plane allowing for line drive ball flights. Taylor shined most in the athletic testing, burning a 6.86 60-yard dash with a 1.71 10-yard split and 3.86 30-yard split, all bests for this event.
