Bert Taylor  
Starting Pitcher | Cleveland Lions

Pitching
Taylor also throws a screwball. And let me tell you, it's not a bad one at that. Taylor can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His move to first isn't very good, but his delivery is fairly quick and he isn't overly vulnerable to the stolen base. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Taylor is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Taylor has some pop in his swing.
