Taylore Cherry, Senior, Pitcher, High School
Overview:
Taylore Cherry is one of the tallest prospects in this year’s class and uses every bit of that height to his advantage. Although his fastball sits in the low 90’s, with his long arms it certainly appears much faster. Although he is strong already, he still has time to mature and will likely add even more velocity. He has a lot of pitches in his repertoire, as he can throw a four seam fastball, a sinking fastball, a curveball, a changeup, and slider. His fastball/changeup is an outstanding combination and he utilizes those two pitches to record most of his outs.
Final Projection:
This right handed power pitcher is a very talented prospect. He should be a first round pick, but in the later portion of the draft. He struggles with his control at times, but he is still developing. He has an extremely high ceiling and can be projected as a dominate pitcher in the majors.
