07/29/2008 - Under Armour Southwest Regional Tournament - 2008 Taylor had a solid week of playing at the tournament. He showed speed on the bases, putting pressure on the defense, while also displaying his range in the infield and outfield. He shows plenty of hustle, desire and love for the game, and improved quite a bit in his knowledge and awareness of the situation. It is safe to say that his game offensively is that of a leadoff type hitter. He has the ability to put the ball in play and on the ground, so that the mid-order hitter can drive him in. His versatility to play second and outfield will help coaches meet the needs of the team. He'll continue to improve by refining his throwing motion through a throwing program and by implementing a lifting regiment for added strength. Overall, Taylor should continue to learn how to best use his tools, by understanding the problems he causes for opposing teams. There will be good fits for him at the next level, due to his speed and athleticism.
