School: Starr’s Mill HS, Fayetteville, Ga.
Commit/Drafted: Georgia Tech
Age at Draft: 18.4
Walker is a 6-foot-2, 185-pound outfielder and lean athlete who has excellent speed. He is a 70-grade runner in a straight line, but that speed more consistently plays like a 60 during games. That running ability should allow him to stick in center field and potentially be an above-average defender, though it’s his lone carrying tool at the moment. He needs plenty of work offensively and will frequently get a bit too long with his righthanded swing. Scouts who are optimistic about his ability to make adjustments and hit will be extremely excited about his athletic foundation and upside, while others might prefer to see him prove it at Georgia Tech.
