[autotag]Grant Taylor[/autotag] was a rockstar out of the bullpen for LSU last season. He was a guy that had a few anomalies that ballooned his ERA, but other than that he was one of the most reliable guys out of the bullpen all year.
LSU’s pitching staff is loaded this year, but that stiff just took a hit by losing Taylor, who will miss the entire 2023 season with a UCL injury.
Taylor had a 4-1 record last season with a 5.81 ERA. As I said earlier, there were a few anomalies last year that torched his season ERA. A 54.00 ERA against Ole Miss and a 9.00 ERA against Grambling and McNeese hurt him a lot.
When the game was on the line though, Taylor and [autotag]Eric Reyzelman[/autotag] always seemed to pull the Tigers through. With Taylor out for the year, that may relegate [autotag]Blake Money[/autotag] to bullpen duty for most of, if not the full 2023 season.
SOURCE: @LSUbaseball RHP Grant Taylor, a projected weekend starter and the No. 15 prospect in the 2023 #MLBDraft class by @d1baseball, will miss the 2023 season because of a UCL injury. #LSU clearly has depth, but Taylor had an incredible fall.
