Taylor Floyd
Taylor Floyd served as a reliever at Texas Tech and pitched just 10.1 innings for Rookie-level Rocky Mountain in his pro debut. Then he had nowhere to play in 2020 as the pandemic shut down the minor leagues. The Brewers kept Floyd in the bullpen when they assigned him to High-A Wisconsin to start the season. He moved to Double-A Biloxi to close the season. In total he made 40 appearances and logged a 2.89 ERA with 84 strikeouts and 24 walks in 56 innings. He allowed a .189 average.
“Taylor is a competitor. I know we throw that term around a lot in the game, but he really knows how to compete,” Brewers farm director Tom Flanagan said.
He throws from a low arm slot that results in plenty of armside run and sink. The 24-year-old's out pitch is a sweeping slider that is devastating to righthanded hitters. As it stands now, the Brewers’ plan is to continue giving Floyd the ball in high-leverage relief situations next season. And after watching him thrive for a full season, they firmly believe he will pitch in the major leagues, perhaps sooner than later. - Baseball America
Used the smiling picture to make the facegen. I missed several other pics as I was searching for a Pirate instead of a Brewer initially. But it'll do.
