A 6-foot-2, 195-pound righthander, Wallace had success out of the bullpen with Tennessee over his first two years with the program, but after a dominant fall transitioned into the team’s starting rotation. Through four starts this spring, Wallace posted a 3.50 ERA in 18 innings while striking out 18 batters and walking seven. Wallace throws from a lower arm slot and has plenty of sinking life on an 89-92 mph fastball, and pairs it with an average slider and developing changeup. Wallace also had success last summer in the Cape Cod League, where he posted a 2.74 ERA as a reliever in 23 innings with 26 strikeouts. Wallace will need more to come from his changeup to have a chance to start in pro ball, but he was trending in the right direction across the board before the 2020 season ended.
