Taylor Wright played baseball at Brown University from 2012-2015 and pitched in the Minor Leagues from 2019-2021. He talks about what it's like having former Villanova Basketball Coach Jay Wright as his father, his involvement with the program, and playing 3 sports growing up. He discusses his great high school career at Episcopal Academy where he played football, basketball, and baseball, his recruiting process for baseball, and why he chose Brown. Taylor then details attempting to play 2 sports at Brown, competition in Ivy League Baseball, adjusting to coming out of the bullpen to pitch, and highlights during his college career. He describes why he didn't try to play professionally right after college, what he was doing for 3 years, and what led him to finally give pro baseball a shot. Taylor speaks about his time in the Minor Leagues on the Evansville Otters and Somerset Patriots, coaching JV Basketball at Episcopal Academy in the offseason, becoming a teacher at Episcopal after the 2021 baseball season, and recently being named the Head Coach of the Varsity Basketball team.
