If you are reading this, I imagine there’s a chance that, like me, you noticed that the Mariners have an outfielder who is not Ian Miller, but is slashing .320/.422/.491 and was just announced as a Texas League All-Star. Said outfielder is Chuck Taylor, a switch-hitting, left-handed throwing outfielder who the Mariners plucked out of the Arizona Diamondbacks system back in early December in the Rule 5 Draft. Taylor was drafted by the D-Backs as a high schooler in the fourth round back in 2012, and has been a roughly league average hitter at every stop since, topping out at Double-A last year, where he posted a wRC+ of 92 through 41 games.
