Back to the Tampa Bay Rays Newsfeed

Taylor Guerrieri's return to the spotlight.

2015 saw a successful return from Tommy John Surgery for the highly touted prospect from the 2011 draft.

Taylor Guerrieri was the Rays top selection in their 2011 MLB Draft as the 24th overall selection out of Spring Valley High School (Columbia, SC). Going into the draft Baseball America had him rated as the 10th overall prospect just ahead of Vanderbilt RHP Sonny Gray.

Let's get this out of the way: Entering the draft there was some concern with maturity issues that caused him to fall to the Rays late in the first round.
