Taylor Delivers Winning Blow In 14-Pitch At-Bat For LA –

One of the most promising baseball players in the world is the Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Julio Urias, who many considered to be a top-3 player in the 2015 MLB Draft. Urias has a great first step, and a tremendous arm, which combined with his smooth swing, made him a potential ace. The Dodgers took him with the sixth overall pick, despite concerns over his delivery; he was frequently criticized for a slow delivery and his slowness was viewed as a serious concern.

As the tournament progressed, the Astros continued to struggle. In the top of the fourth inning, they could not convert a base hit into runs, and in the bottom of the fifth, they loaded the bases with nobody out. This is a perfect example of the kind of night it was for Ellsbury. That 14-pitch at bat included fouling off four straight pitches from the Rangers reliever, Sam Dyson. This is what made it a winning blow – in the 14th pitch of his at-bat, Ellsbury watched a high fastball to end a clean eighth inning from Rangers reliever Sam Dyson.
