Coach’s Comments: “Taylor is that gamer that every coach loves to have on their team. She is solid in the circle with command of all of her pitches. She is clocked regularly in the low 60’s and works as hard or harder than any kid I have ever met. She wants the ball in her hands when the game is on the line and she always has a smile on her face and is always there as a pick me up for her teammates.”
— Ken Fisher, Gold Coast Hurricanes – Fisher
