Taylor Echols brings strike-throwing pedigree and captain-level makeup to Miami (OH)'s bullpen
Echols is a compact right-hander who already showed he can contribute at the college level, logging 8 appearances and 9.1 innings in 2025 with a 1-1 record and 4 strikeouts for Miami (OH).[1] His best calling card is competitive polish: he was a two-time team captain in high school and a decorated Ohio prep ace, including Conference Player of the Year, District Player of the Year, and a 0.34 ERA with 55 strikeouts in 41 innings during his 2023 season.[1][4] For a staff, he looks like a reliable, high-intangibles arm with proven winning habits rather than a pure velocity headline.
