‘27 C/RHP Taye Thierman had one of the more mature overall games at the tournament and was one of the main attractions following a breakout 2023 campaign that saw him impress at the Jr. Future Games in Georgia. Mature for his age at 6-foot-2, 180-pounds and a smooth left-handed swing that sees the ball jump off his bat with ease. Came through with one of the biggest swings in the tournament, launching a no-doubt HR into the RF corner. Continues to be one of the top players, both offensively and defensively, everytime he takes the field with players his age.
Thierman is one of the more exciting prospects on the west coast of Canada, flashing upside at the dish with a twitchy swing from the left side with power potential. There’s intent to do damage with every swing, with aggressive takes and approach. There’s already pull-side power, as he matures in the box and starts to use the whole field with more consistency it’s only a matter of time before he’s a legit power threat. With bat speed that already reaches up to 96 mph in game, Thierman is one of the more impactful 2027 bats in the country. Behind the dish, he’s a quiet receiver with the ability to get low to the ground and work up. There’s mobility and athleticism in his blocking/catch and throw that will continue to trend upwards as he gets stronger/quicker. Thierman showed why he is an exciting prospect out of the Okotoks Dawgs program in Alberta and is a can’t miss AB down the road.
Thierman had one of the better days overall despite being one of the youngest players at the event. It started on the mound where he impressed with a short, quick arm out of a high ¾ slot. His fastball was consistently in the 80-81 mph range and for strikes. His slider, although currently having more of a cutter profile, has slight horizontal sweep and sat in the 69-71 mph range. The changeup when located down in the zone has effective fade that works well off his fastball at 72-73 mph.
2027 C/RHP Taye Thierman impressed in multiple areas of the showcase and has advanced skills for his age. Lots to dream on with the size and body at 6-foot-2, 185-pounds and still just 14-years-old. Put together a good round behind the dish with quick actions and arm strength (74mph) leading to a 1.96 pop-time. Also a right-handed pitcher with plenty of upside on the mound and it’s a quick arm from a short slot and the fastball sat 80-81mph. Also worked with a curveball at 67-69 and changeup at 73-74mph. Was one of the youngest players at the showcase but fit right in with the older group.
