Player Outlook

A bat-first player all the way, Devin Taylor is a left fielder from college with minimal speed, so he flies under the radar in dynasty first-year player drafts. Taylor, who the Athletics selected 48th overall last year, didn't face the greatest competition in the Big Ten, but he had an OPS over 1.080 all three years at Indiana and slashed .296/.397/.510 in 29 Cape Cod League games in 2024. He was sent to Single-A after singing and slashed .264/.388/.481 with six home runs, a 16.3 percent walk rate and a 28.7 percent strikeout rate in 28 games, good for a 135 wRC+. The 6-foot-1, 215-pound lefty hitter has fringe-average or worse tools, save for his hit and power tools, which could both be above average or better. This is important, as he'll be limited to left field, so he needs to provide offensive impact. His showing on the Cape should help alleviate concerns over the mediocre pitching he faced at Indiana. He should be held to a high standard offensively at High-A and Double-A this year.
