Gavin Taylor, Birmingham HS (CA), 2023
Positional Profile: C
Body: 6-2, 200lbs. Physical catcher’s build. Present lower-half/upper-half strength. Average swift athletic testing #’s.
Defense: 2.00-2.06 pops. Quick exchange and footwork on throwdowns. Gains good ground. Always in an athletic traditional set up. Showed off some catching athleticism with lateral blocking in-game Able to keep body quiet and minimize glove movement with framing.
Arm: RH. INF - 75.00 mph. Shorter AA. Average strength that seemed to play better in-game. â…˜ accurate throwdowns during workout.
Hit: RHH. Hitterish tendencies. Relaxed slightly open stance. Easy rhythm and balance. Small negative move with a simple forward stride trigger. More upright barrel at early-connection/launch. Whippy quick hands deliver a fast bat (79max/73avg bat speed). Turns the barrel extremely well through which allows for natural backspin ability to the pullside. Slight uphill path through the zone. More FBs than LDs/GBs during BP round. 2 pullside HRs in BP and 2 hard pullside knocks during gameplay. Consistently on-time on the FB. Pullside HR power.
