Taylor was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the second round of the 2012 Major League Baseball Draft out of Torrance High School in Torrance, California.[1] He had signed to play college baseball at California State University, Fullerton, but signed with the Brewers instead.[2]

He made his professional debut that year for the Helena Brewers and also played for the Arizona League Brewers. In 75 at-bats over 18 games, he hit .387/.434/.667 with two home runs. He played the 2013 season with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers.[3] In 122 games, he hit .274/.338/.400 with eight home runs in 485 at-bats. Prior to the 2014 season, he was ranked by Baseball America as the Brewers second best prospect.[4] He started the season with the Brevard County Manatees. On April 29, 2014, Tyrone Taylor hit for the cycle against the Clearwater Threshers on his mother's 35th birthday. It was the first cycle in Brevard County Manatees history.

He returned to Biloxi for the 2016 season, hitting .232/.303/.327/.630 with 9 home runs and 34 RBI. He split the 2017 season between the AZL Brewers and Biloxi, hitting .287/.355/.509/.864 with 5 home runs and 13 RBI over just 25 games due to hamstring injuries.[5] He played for the Colorado Springs Sky Sox in 2018, hitting .278/.321/.504/.825 with 20 home runs and 80 RBI.[5] The Brewers added him to their 40-man roster after the 2018 offseason.[6] He split the 2019 minor league season between the AZL Brewers and the San Antonio Missions, hitting .275/.342/.462/.804 with 14 home runs and 59 RBI.
