LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 National Showcase
Aerik Taylor is a 2006 RHP from Williamsport HS in Maryland, with a 6'1", 185 lb. frame. He breaks his hands very low and throws from a 3/4's to high 3/4's release point, which gives his arm a long way to go before release. His arm works cleanly and he throws with medium effort and good arm speed. Taylor's fastball gets good running action at 88 mph. His change up showed good sinking action at 79 mph while his 72 mph curveball had 11/5 2 plane break to it. Taylor threw strikes with all his pitches and showed some pitching knowledge. He has some upside to him and should keep improving.
