A week from today, Jameson Taillon will take the field during the first spring training workout for pitchers and catchers. Preparation for his first full season in the majors will begin. In a sense, though, it began last winter, when Taillon re-learned how to stand and move as part of a new offseason program.
Taillon is nearing the end of his second winter of training at Fairchild Sports Performance, a training facility in his hometown of Houston. Last year, after two surgeries had meant two missed seasons, Taillon began training at Fairchild with an emphasis on improving posture and quality of movement.
