Outfielder Tyrone Taylor was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2nd round of the 2012 MLB June Draft out of Torrance HS in California. The right-handed hitter split time his first professional season between Helena (Pioneer) and the Brewers Arizona League entry and was lights out at both stops.
For the year, Taylor had an OPS of 1.100 in 83 trips to the plate. He banged out 14 extra-base hits among his 29 hits, for an impressive slugging average of .667 on the year.
The following season, Taylor played at Wisconsin in the Midwest League and performed well for someone two years younger than league average.
