    OF Chris Walker can give Robbie Sovie a run for being the fastest player in the state. He ranked third in NCAA Division I with 46 steals in 51 attempts in the regular season, and he's a slash-and-run hitter who just tries to make contact. Scouts would like to see him take up switch-hitting so he can maximize his speed by batting lefthanded.
