Biographical Information[edit]

Pitcher Taylor Hearn was selected by the Washington Nationals in the 5th round of then 2015 amateur draft, his fourth time being drafted. He began his career that season with the GCL Nationals, then after a couple of appearances was promoted to the Auburn Doubledays of the New York-Penn League. He was 1-5, 3.56 in 12 games between the two stops. In 2016, he started the year with the Hagerstown Suns of the South Atlantic League, but then missed time with an injury and also made a rehabilitation assignment back in the Gulf Coast League. Between the two, he was 1-0, 4.34 in 10 games when on July 30th, he was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates along with Felipe Rivero in return for Mark Melancon. On July 31, 2018, he was traded again, this time heading to the Texas Rangers in return for Keone Kela.

Hearn made his debut with the Rangers on April 25, 2019. It did not go great as he gave up 5 runs (4 earned) while recording just one out in a start against the Seattle Mariners. He was replaced by Brett Martin before he could complete the 1st inning and the Rangers lost the game, 14-2.

In 2023, he changed teams twice in the span of a week. He started off the season with the Rangers, but gave up 8 runs over 7 innings in 4 appearances to be sent down to the minors on April 13th. He then pitched 24 times for the Round Rock Express of the AAA Pacific Coast League, going 2-2, 3.66 but on July 24th he was designated for assignment to clear space on the Rangers' 40-man roster. He was purchased by the Atlanta Braves, but in his only outing for them on July 29th, he gave up 4 more runs in just one-third of an inning and the next day, July 30th, he was traded to the Kansas City Royals in return for IF Nicky Lopez.
