Brien McKeiver Taylor (born December 26, 1971) is a former pitcher in minor league baseball. Chosen by the New York Yankees first overall in the 1991 Major League Baseball (MLB) draft, an arm injury shortened his professional career. He retired in 2000, having never played a meaningful game above Class AA. Taylor is the second amateur player to be picked first overall in the MLB draft to never reach the major leagues (Steve Chilcott, 1966).
