SCOUTING REPORT: Taylor sticks out as a lefty in a system full of righthanded power arms. He comes at hitters with a 92-95 mph fastball that tops out at 97 with late cut that induces a lot of weak contact. His mid-80s slider is a solid-average pitch at its best when he keeps it at the bottom of the zone, though sometimes it flattens out and stays up, allowing hitters to do damage. He's primarily a two-pitch reliever with a below-average changeup he rarely throws. Taylor's control is below-average, but he was able to get out of sticky situations last year by drawing soft contact.
THE FUTURE: Taylor should return to a middle relief role in Houston in 2021. Better command will be key for him to stick.
