Taylor was the leader of his Shawnee high school team that went 40-0 this season en route to winning the Oklahoma 5A State Championship. A physical catcher, who's got some power in his bat and an average arm, Taylor hit nine home runs with a 20:4 walk-to-strikeout ratio. Scouts are impressed with Taylor's defensive potential that stems from the combination of his solid arm, his work ethic and his focus behind the plate, in addition to the leadership qualities he shows on the field.
