Zack Taylor

A durable catcher, Zack Taylor was a well-noted defensive stalwart during his 16 major league seasons. He started with the old Brooklyn Dodgers back in 1920, and by 1923 he was the team’s regular starting backstop, and batted .288 in 96 games, .290 in 99 games, and a career-best .310 from 1923-1925. Then, on October 7 1915 Zack Taylor was traded to the Boston Braves in a six-player trade.

One of baseball’s hardest players to strike out Zack Taylor fanned just 192 times in 2,865 career at bats.

He was a player/coach while with the Cubs and with Brooklyn in 1935 and he managed the St Louis Browns in 1946, 1948-1951, finishing 7^th, 6^th, 7^th, 7^th, and 8^th in the then 8-team American League.
