Miami’s 6-4 power righty brings strikeout upside — if the arm holds
In the 2025 season at UNLV, Michael Taylor posted a 3.86 ERA with 27 strikeouts in 21 relief innings, flashing a fastball/cutter mix that evaluators say can miss bats and fit late in a bullpen. He’s a physical 6-4, 245-pound right-hander at Miami, but reports from the 2026 offseason noted an arm injury in the fall that could limit his availability, which is the biggest swing factor for his value. If healthy, he looks like a useful, high-utility relief piece with real leverage potential.
