10/24/2012 - Ronald McDonald Tournament - 16U Taylor is a strong, athletic player. In the infield, she demonstrates an understanding of the game at both shortstop and third base. Her improvement was displayed through her range, feeds and fluid transfers and complimented her extremely strong arm. Continued work on versatility as Taylor rotates between positions will build on her fundamentals and expand her skill set. In addition, it is important that she trusts her natural instincts in order to avoid making unnecessary mistakes (hesitation leads to errors). At the plate, Taylor has a good presence, is selective with her pitches and shows flashes of pop. She showed improvement during her at bats and was extremely open to making the adjustments necessary for continued success and growth. Taylor will benefit by transferring fundamental drills into action, in order to achieve her potential as a solid RBI hitter. As a whole, she is on track for the next level and will attract collegiate attention.
