6-foot-5, 235-pound, RHP works with good tempo while displaying confidence and a commanding presence on the mound. Taylor’s frame suggests more velo could be coming, as he shows a quick and loose arm action through a high ¾ release point. He gets good tilt on his fastball when he keeps it down, but can flatten it out when left up. His curveball showed 11/5 shape with the ability to garner some swing-and-misses throughout the course of a game.
