Tayler Landrum participated in the PBR Tennessee Top Prospect Games in June at the University of Tennessee and had an impressive performance that included two hitless innings with four strikeouts. The following is a closer look at the uncommitted right-hander.

Name: Tayler Landrumlandrum
Height: 6-0
Weight : 185
High School: Summertown
Class: 2016
Scouting Report: (6/10/15) 6-foot, 186-pound prospect uses an over head windup with up tempo delivery, long arm action through a ¾ slot, comes at hitters and not afraid to pitch inside, pounds the strike zone, fastball sat 79-81 mph with occasional arm-side run, 64-67 mph curveball shows gradual 11/5 action, works both sides of the plate with the fastball, had an impressive outing allowing no hits with four strikeouts in his two innings of work.

Analysis: Landrum’s fastball seems to get on hitters quicker than his velocity indicates from his 3/4 arm slot, and he showed the ability to run the fastball in on right-handed hitters effectively. Landrum shows good pitchability, and there could be more velocity to come for the right-hander.
