The 5'10" 165 lbs. right-hander has been the model of consistency for the Warriors, throughout the course of his career, and was once again really good last week in our Week 6 Game of the Week against Sterlington. An athletic mover down the slope, Taylor did a really good job of staying away from the middle of the plate against a talented Panthers lineup. He worked his FB in the 82-85 mph range and the pitch showed good life through the zone with spin rates up to nearly 2500 RPM's, and he tunneled his mid-70's SL off of it well with some sweep across the zone. Taylor earned the win and finished his 7 IP outing giving up 5 H and 3 ER with 1 BB and 5 K's on 78 pitches (57 strikes | 21 balls).
