Outstanding build with room to continue adding strength. Repeats a solid delivery and arm action. Fastball reached 91 and worked comfortably around the zone, showing the ability to pitch effectively at both the top and bottom. Changeup featured quality tail and sink with developing deception, while the slider showed quality sweep. Three-pitch mix continues to develop, and the velocity should continue to climb.

Taegen has a solid build and will add strength. His delivery is repeatable, and his fastball reached 86-88 mph with arm-side tail and sink. He blends in a breaking ball between 73-77 mph and shows good feel for the pitch. His changeup sits at 78 mph. Tate relies on athleticism mostly now, but as he refines his stuff, he will have a chance to be one of the top righties in the country.
