    Brigham Young junior 3B Brandon Taylor made headlines this spring with his bat. He hit for the cycle twice in April, an NCAA record-tying feat that had been accomplished only twice before in the same season. He also banged three grand slam home runs while hitting .363-20-80 overall. Still, scouts say his impressive numbers are a product of altitude and mediocre pitching in the Mountain West Conference. He will need to make adjustments at the plate because his swing is long to contact.
