In baseball, a sport of very few action plays, patience is necessary to succeed. Junior right-handed pitcher Grant Taylor learned patience outside of baseball. Grant has been in the spotlight multiple times for his excellence on the field at Washington State University, from his high strikeout innings to complete games, he's excelled. But baseball wasn't his priority growing up.
Taylor's mother has been sick for quite some time, in and out of hospitals, and that has shifted his focus from baseball.
"She's why I wake up every morning and do what I do," Taylor said.
