Beau Ritchie Taylor (born 13 February 1990) is an American professional baseball catcher.
Taylor attended Rockledge High School in Rockledge, Florida and the University of Central Florida.[1] He played for the UCF Knights baseball team, joining the team as a third baseman but converting to catcher to keep his scholarship.[2] The Oakland Athletics selected him in the fifth round of the 2011 MLB draft.[1] He was suspended for the first 50 games of the 2017 season due to testing positive for Adderall without a prescription. He became a free agent after the 2017 season, and signed a new contract with the Athletics.[3]
