9/04/24
Taylor Waldron, RHP, Marquette Academy (IL), 2023 Uncommitted. Waldron is an athletic and lean 6-foot-2, 195 pounds right-hander with room for added physicality. A simple delivery which he is able to repeat consistently with a loose arm action from a ¾ slot. Three pitch mix, the fastball operated in the upper-80s topped out at 89 mph with life out of the hand. The slider sits in the upper-70s with tight sweep and was thrown around the zone, his changeup got up to 80 mph and played with running action.
5/03/23

John A. Logan commit. Ranked No. 71 in the state’s class of 2023. Stands at an athletic 6-foot-2, 200-pounds; added quality strength to the frame as of late. The right-handed pitcher was dominant throughout, but struggled with command in the seventh inning. He struck out 11 in 6.1 innings of work while scattering five hits and walking one. Controlled the mound throughout, works with pace and competitive presence. His fastball sat 83-86 mph, touching 87 twice. His changeup sat 77-79 mph, thrown with fastball intent and declaration. Located the pitch well and paired well with his fastball to keep hitters off-balanced. His curveball sat 73-76 mph with 11/5 shape, throwing it in and around the zone. 

 
4/20/22

Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 52 in Illinois. Athletic, high-waisted build, standing 6-foot-2, 188-pounds. Started on the mound against Joliet Catholic and showed to have control over a polished three-pitch mix. His arm works with a clean arm circle out of the glove, moving into a high ¾ slot. Working with an up-tempo delivery, Waldron moves with a flexible lower-half into a slightly coiled leg-kick, transitioning into a repeatable stride down the mound that works in-line with the plate, front foot landing square. The right-hander’s fastball worked in the 85-87 mph range, playing with some life to the arm-side and demonstrating control to his glove-side as well. His slider plays from a 10/4 plane with sharp action, showing above-average depth at times and missing barrels often. He also flashed a late fading changeup, working 81-82 mph with impressive feel over the zone. Over his five innings of work, Waldron allowed just three hits to go along with five strikeouts; struggling to locate slightly in the beginning of the day due to unfavorable weather conditions, but finding a groove shortly after and settling in nicely.

2/26/22

Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-1, 175-pounds.
Delivery: Repeatable, tall and fall delivery. Easy effort. Lands front toe closed.
Arm Action: RH. Long arm action, works from a high 3/4 slot.
FB: T89.7, 88.5-89.6 mph. Plays straight.  T2086, 2019 average rpm.
CB: 70.4-72.0 mph. Late downer action. T2339, 2250 average rpm.
CH: 79.2-81.3 mph. Maintains arm speed. Fading action to the arm side. T1769, 1666 average rpm.

2/26/22

Another arm on the rise coming out of the event: RHP Taylor Waldron (Ottawa-Marquette). Waldron has added almost 30 pounds of quality muscle to his athletic frame since last year, now standing at 6-foot-1, 188 pounds. Waldron, long known for his advanced feel and quality three-pitch mix, has seen his velocity take a huge jump as well. Saturday, his fastball sat 89-90 mph with an advanced curveball featuring late downer action, 70-72, and a 79-81 changeup. Given the uptick in strength, velocity and stuff, Waldron should be a high-follow arm this spring and beyond.

9/13/20

5-foot-11, 135-pound, lean, high-waisted, right-handed pitcher with plenty of room for continued physical development. Started game one of the tournament for the Cangelosi Sparks 2023s and threw a complete game gem. Fluid, repeatable delivery, clean, easy arm action and polished three-pitch mix.
