Emma Taylor anchors Yale’s circle with captain’s poise
In the 2026 season, Emma Taylor has been Yale’s bullpen-to-bullpen eraser and heartbeat in the circle: she entered the year as team captain, logged a team-high 106.2 innings with a 3.87 ERA, and previously led Yale’s staff with 68 strikeouts in 2025 while earning second-team All-Ivy honors. She stands out for durability, command, and leadership—she’s the kind of pitcher who can stabilize a staff, compete deep into games, and bring a steady, competitive edge that teammates love.
