New England Insider: Uncommitted Underclass Spotlight - Brandon Taylor
Name: Brandon Taylor
Position: SS
School: La Salle Academy
Summer Ball: L & M Baseball Club
Class: 2017
Ranked: 168th in New England's 2017 class
Scouting Report: 5-foot-10, 180-pound athletic frame, with room to fill out. Middle infielder who uses good footwork to approach ground balls. The actions are smooth and effortless, fields ball out front, feet and hands work well together. The arm action is short and clean on the back, clocked at 74 with easy carry and flight to ball. Looked solid starting the pivot from the left side of the bag, has the ability to play all three infield positions. Offensively, he hits with a basic, balanced setup. Feet are slightly wider than shoulder width, uses a leg kick for added power. The path is level through the zone with a classic one handed finish. The lower half is under control, tee exit velocity was 85, has more in there. Ran a 4.28 from home to first
Outlook:
