One of the features we're rolling out on the new High School Blog is regular interviews with high school prospects, and there isn't a better way to kick it off than with an interview with The Woodlands (Texas) High righthander, Jameson Taillon.

After absolutely dominating on the high school showcase circuit, Taillon led Team USA's 18U team to their first-ever gold medal run by going 2-0, 0.00 with 28 strikeouts over 13.2 innings. The 6-foot-6, 225-pounder was a unanimous first-team All-American, as voted on by scouting directors, and is the No. 1 high school prospect in the country.

Taillon's season has started already and he's getting his fastball up to 99 mph. BA's Conor Glassey caught up with Taillon after his start of Thursday, Feb. 25.
