LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2018 Rocky Mountain Showcase
Zachary Taylor is a 2021 RHP/1B, 3B with a 6-5 205 lb. frame from Castle Pines, CO who attends Rock Canyon. Large frame with broad shoulders and present strength. Primary right handed pitcher with a simple side step to medium leg lift delivery. Clean arm swing at take back and released from a high three-quarters arm slot. Fastball flashed some arm side life with good feel for each edge of the plate in the mid to upper 70's, topped at 78 miles per hour. Showed an 11/5 breaking ball that created good depth when maintaining arm speed through extension. Changeup featured a deceptive arm speed that consistently kept hitters off balance in the upper 60's. Looked to attack the strike zone with each pitch and challenge hitters. Also worked out defensively from first base showing soft hands while receiving and picking the baseball. Right handed hitter with an even, balanced stance. Creates some top half coil at load and worked to contact on a naturally lifted path. Turned the barrel with aggression to contact that produced loud, hard contact to the gap when on time. Good student as well.
