Taylor Tomlin brings speed, contact, and defensive value to Long Beach State
Tomlin entered the 2026 season as a junior transfer and the kind of low-drama, high-impact outfielder coaches love: in 2025 at Oakland he hit .322, drove in 23 runs, and swiped 12 bags, and at Wharton County he stole 27 bases in 28 tries—so the speed is real. Long Beach State’s roster lists him at 5-foot-9, 175 pounds, and his profile points to a defense-first, pressure-on-the-bases style with enough bat-to-ball skill to keep innings messy for opponents. If you want twitch, hustle, and a spark-plug profile, he’s a fit.
