3/24/16 6-foot-1, 180-pounder sat 83-84 early topping at 86 mph in the first inning. Settled in during the middle innings at 81-82, but was able to get 83-84 when he wanted it. Threw several elevated changeups, one that resulted in one of the two hits he allowed on the day. Junior's curveball is one of the best in the state. Showed two plane break at 71-73 with hard biting action to the back foot of right handed hitters. Pounds the strike zone and puts hitters away early without wasting pitches.

5/9/15 Taylor sat 81-82 from a high 3/4 arm slot with cut action to his fastball. Taylor starts with an overhead rocker and hides the baseball well. His fastball showed late life and some sink at times. Taylor effectively mixed a 1/7 breaking ball and an occasional 73 mph changeup in tossing a complete game 1-hitter.

4/27/15 6-foot-1, 180-pound primary pitcher showed well offensively on this night. Barreled up the ball twice with one double. Very quiet hands and approach at the plate. Starts with a simple toe tap and has a short quick swing.
