2023 Highlights
2023 SpotlightPersonal Statement
I am Union Endicott's Mary Testa Tourney MVP and Class of 2024 RHP Taylor C. McManus of the Conklin Raiders 18U GOLD team coached by Mike Curro.
2022 - We competed in the 2022 Alliance Qualifier NJ, Colorado Sparkler, Atlanta Legacy Showcase, USA JO CUP - Oklahoma City and the National Alliance Championships - Indianapolis, Indiana.
UPDATED 2023 - We competed in the Power Pool of the Colorado Sparkler, The Atlanta Legacy and Atlanta Alliance and Nationals in Chattanooga. I was able to compete and pitch against some of the top 50 teams in the country and it was a great experience.
IMPORTANT: FOR THE LAST YEAR - I have had the priviledge of being a student of Pitching Coach Mike Muhleisen (Founder of Fastpitch Foundations & SpeedSpinSpot) who has pitching students in Power 5 Schools. (FSU,LSU and Tennessee etc.) I am a much different pitcher now than I was a year ago.
Mike Muhleisen: "Taylor's growth rate is unprecedented and this late bloomer is someone to keep an eye on".
I will also be competing in College Level Fall Camps and Showcases as well.
