MLB Draft Combine 2025: Meet the 10 Rising Stars Who Shocked Scouts in Phoenix This Week
9. RHP Zane Taylor, UNC-Wilmington
Over the past four years, no pitcher in the country started more games at the Division I level than Taylor, who made 57 starts for the Seahawks during his four-year collegiate tenure. For the first three years of his career, Taylor’s pure stuff on the mound was fairly generic; he was the consummate college workhorse, a reliable strike-thrower who helped his team win a lot of games but didn’t necessarily project as a pro prospect. That changed his senior season, when Taylor’s velocity ticked up from 91-93 mph to 94-96 mph, and he authored one of the best statistical seasons of any D-I starter: 1.98 ERA and 0.76 WHIP with 105 strikeouts in 95 ⅔ innings across 15 starts.
