12/19/2012 - Pirate City Christmas Camp and Tournament Taylor is an athletic OF that will graduate in 2014. Foot speed is above average as indicated by his 7.08 60 time. Feet are quick / athletic as he takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind and plays through well with momentum to his target through an aggressive approach. Throws are accurate, flashing carry but needs to build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, Faulk shows an athletic setup with rhythm. Hands are quick, flashing bat speed through a level swing path. Barrel accuracy is a plus with ball jumping off his bat when centered. He works to stay through the ball creating extension and uses his lower half well. Taylor also pitched for us for the first time. He was 77-79 mph and shows an athletic finish and consistent delivery, while being a consistent strike thrower. His shoulders get a little stiff through the delivery, but he has a good pitcher's build. We like him better as an OF but he has potential on the mound as well. Mental makeup is a plus as he is a student of the game and very coachable. Taylor has a ton of potential and will catch the eyes of the collegiate coaches with his baseball abilities.
