Thomas Taylor is a 2008 RHP with a 6'4'', 185 lb. frame from Overland Park, KS who attends Blue Valley West HS. He has a classic projectable young pitcher's build, with long arms and legs and narrow hips. Taylor throws from a tall, low effort delivery and his arm action is loose and very fluid. Taylor accelerates his arm very well and the ball comes out of his hand easily. His fastball was 87-89, touch 90 mph with good downhill plane and there is much more there as he gets stronger. Taylor's best pitch was a 74-77 mph curveball that was nasty at times, with very good depth and a hard biting action. He also showed a good feel for a change up. Taylor had a good idea what he was doing on the mound, had excellent mechanics and a nasty breaking ball. The only major ingredient missing right now is the fastball velocity and that isn't far away. Keep a very close eye on him, he has a very high ceiling. Taylor is also a good student.

Thomas Taylor is a 2008 RHP/1B with a 6'4'', 175 lb. frame from Overland Park KS, who attends Blue Valley West HS. He has a tall, lean and projectable pitcher's frame with extra long arms. Taylor has a simple, balanced delivery and a smooth, long arm action. He tends to show the ball in back and doesn't have much deception at the moment but that can be worked on. The ball comes out of his hand easily on release and he maintains a good downhill angle to the plate. Taylor's fastball was in the 85-87 mph range and was pretty straight. His 73 mph curveball had good velocity and a sharp bite and he also threw a couple of 75 mph change ups. It's very easy to project Taylor's velocity to improve over the next few years as he gets stronger. Another thing in Taylor's favor is that he looks like he's a good athlete. He showed smooth and balanced defensive actions at first base and swung the bat with prospect level bat speed and power potential at the plate. College coaches should keep an eye on his bat as well has his arm, he has a chance to develop into a potential two-way player if he fills out a bit. Follow him closely. Taylor is also a good student.
