Resident of Greenwich, Connecticut, Taylor has been part of BVSA since childhood. He trained extensively under Mike Abate and the BVSA staff for over a decade before joining the coaching team in 2018. His early years at BVSA, including an internship during high school, helped shape his deep understanding of the game and his ability to develop young athletes.

 

Taylor’s playing career is as accomplished as his coaching journey. Before high school, he competed in the 14-Year-Old Babe Ruth World Series. At Greenwich High School, he was a multi-sport athlete, excelling in football, basketball, and baseball. A two-sport captain, Taylor led both the football and baseball teams to three conference finals and multiple state tournament runs.

 

He was a two-time All-State selection in both football and baseball. In football, he earned All-Metro honors and was named to the prestigious Super 33 Team his senior year. In baseball, he was recognized as a member of the Rawlings All-New England Team. Following his standout senior season, Taylor was selected in the 13th Round (400th overall) of the 2013 MLB Draft by the Texas Rangers.

 

Choosing to pursue college baseball, Taylor went on to play for the University of Connecticut (UConn) and later Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), where he contributed to two conference championship teams and helped SNHU reach the Division II College World Series.

 

During the summer seasons, Taylor competed in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League with the Utica Blue Sox, where he was a three-time All-Star and All-League selection. His impact on the organization was so significant that his jersey was retired by the team.

 

After college, Taylor continued his professional baseball career. He played in the Empire Professional Baseball League in 2019, earning All-Star honors and a league championship. He later signed with the Trois-Rivières Aigles of the Frontier Professional Baseball League in 2020 before the season was halted due to COVID-19. Taylor went on to play in the Empire Bubble League, where he was named Best Defensive Player.

 

From 2021–2022, Taylor competed in the Yinzer Professional Baseball Development League, earning back-to-back All-Star selections and capturing the league MVP award in 2022. He continued his professional career with the Florence Y’alls (2023) and the New Jersey Jackals (2025) of the Frontier Professional Baseball League.

 

Currently, Taylor remains an active professional baseball player and an integral part of the BVSA coaching staff. He is deeply familiar with BVSA’s player development curriculum and is passionate about helping athletes of all ages reach their full potential both on and off the field.
