TAYLOR ROBY A...TIGER?
If you are a Louisville softball fan, the name Taylor Roby is still one you will easily recognize. Roby, from Mt. Washington and a two-way powerhouse for the Cards, as a pitcher and at the plate. is still in the ACC, but she's traded in the Cardinals uniform for a Clemson Tiger uniform.
No, she's not playing anymore. She serves as a Director of Player Development for the Tigers. She's in her fourth year in South Carolina. Her duties include day-to-day assistance for all aspects of the program including team bonding and scouting. She also handles liaison duties with Nike/Mizuno. She's in her fourth year on the Tigers staff and was a graduate assistant for two years and then got her current gig on August 29th, 2025.
Out of Bullitt East Hight School, she arrived at UofL and rapidly became a premier Cardinal diamond queen. During her final season at UofL, she was selected a second team NFCA All-American and first team ACC member. She batted .360 her senior season and then headed to clemson fo graduate studies and became a graduate assistant for Tigers softball. She fills the trifecta of what an old buddy used for softball players tanking: Good Hit, Good Pitch, good Looking .
At Louisville, she still holds career (63) and season (23) home run records.
Roby also spent a season playing pro softball for the USSSA Pride squad.
I remember an interview with her from years ago when, somehow, the conversation morphed into food. When asked what her favorites food was, she ended up with four...Texas roadhouse rolls, strawberries, chicken nuggets and spaghetti. Sounds like a O.K. dinner to me.
Roby isn't a huge social media maven, but if you follow the Clemson softball squad .I'm sure you'll be able to pick up bits and pieces on her.
I recently saw a list of the best five Louisville softball players of all time and she was on the list...along with Lacy Wood, Megan Hensley, Maryssa Becker and Melissa Roth. Got a different five? Let me know in the comments section.
