Thread: Taylor Rogers

2012 11th round pick has raised some eyebrows with his solid appearances @ ELIZ.
The 21 yr old lefty, out of U of Kentucky, from Denver COL has made 6 starts

Goes from being a very hittable, low strikeout guy to a dominating looking strikeout pitcher in a notorious hitters lg.
Cant be all wood bats vs aluminum, but its kind of interesting.

He's old for the league and a small sample size. I couldn't find any scouting reports about him, but watching his delivery he doesn't create a ton of power off the mound and I have a hard time seeing how he could even top 90 mph.

judging by the ERA, I'd say he's still pretty hittable.

after his Beloit promotion, the lefthander has retained an excellent K rate.

Have hard throwers we have in A Ball that dont strike guys out, so this is a nice surprise
