Taj Bradley parents Ana Mosley and Bradley Sr raised her three sons in Stone Mountain Georgia. Taj has an older brother in Marine Corps.
Bradley is a former student at Redan High School in Stone Mountain, Georgia. The Tampa Bay Rays picked him in the fifth round of the 2018 MLB Draft.
He made his MLB debut on Wednesday (April 12th) and impressed everyone by winning the game against the Red Sox. In the game, Bradley allowed three runs on five hits and a single walk over five innings with stunning performance from Shane McClanahan.
He demonstrated his exceptional proficiency by striking out eight batters. Despite a shaky start in which he walked the first batter of the game, Bradley quickly regained his footing and retired 10 out of the next 12 batters he faced.
The 22-year-old newcomer was highly efficient, with 52 of his 78 pitches being strikes. With Zach Eflin still recovering from a back injury, Bradley is expected to receive at least one more opportunity to start, tentatively scheduled for this weekend against Cincinnati.
