Taggart continues to solidify himself as one of the better RHPs in Ontario's class of 2024 with 2 impressive starts in the CPBL while also joining the Canadian JNT on their Dominican spring trip. Standing at 6-foot-3, 200-pounds Taggart’s FB sits 87-89mph with 2400rpm+ coupled with two downer breaking balls that are spun for strikes. He continues to be an uncomfortable at-bat for hitters and will be able to stick at the next level.
Friday was our first in-game look at Taggart this year and his three pitch-mix allows him to constantly change speeds on hitters and keep them off balance. Size and strength on the mound at 6-foot-3, 200-pounds and looks like he’s still figuring things out mechanically on the mound with his size and growth. Plenty to like in the three-pitch mix, starting with the fastball that sat 84-86mph and projects to continue trending upwards. Flashed one of the better changeups we saw on the day at 76-77 that generated plenty of swings and misses, along with a breaking ball at 74-75mph. Another 2025 arm in Ontario with the size and stuff that should peak the interest of college coaches.
2025 RHP Aiden Taggart was an arm who showed well at the Future Games Trials and did so again this past weekend. Size and strength on the mound at 6-foot-3, 200-pounds and was heavy with the fastball, using it about 80 percent of the time. The pitch sat 86-88mph with good spin (2400+ rpm avg.) and he was able to pound the zone and get ahead with it. Flashed a slider at 78-79mph (2350+ rpm avg.) and changeup at 73-76mph. Added feel and confidence for his secondary pitches will be what takes his game to the next level on the mound.
2025 RHP Aiden Taggart was another impressive arm from Fieldhouse and stands out with a strong frame on the mound at 6-foot-3, 200-pounds. Right-handed pitcher who works with intent and a quick arm while tunneling all his pitches well. The fastball sat 87-88mph with some armside run. Lacks some consistency with the breaking ball but the pitch has potential as he snapped off a couple sharp ones with vertical, top-to-bottom action. Also flashed a changeup at 75-78mph with heavy horizontal break (20.2in. avg.) but lacks fade right now. Intriguing overall profile as he continues to develop and refine his offspeed arsenal.
