Where Are They Now: Caroline Taylor

MACON, Ga. – We all know about the great accomplishments that Mercer student-athletes have achieved during their time as a Bear, but what are they up to after they graduate? Today, we take a look inside former Mercer softball player Caroline Taylor and her career after Mercer.

Taylor was one of the most prolific sluggers in program history as she is Mercer's all-time leader in home runs (47) and RBI (157). The Alma, Ga., native also ranks second in career walks (97), fifth in slugging percentage (.568) and sixth in on-base percentage (.426). Taylor put together a dominant senior campaign in 2018 by hitting .331 (45-136) with a program-record 16 home runs that tied for the most in the SoCon and 51 RBI. She earned All-SoCon Second Team honors as a sophomore in 2015.
