Body: 6-2, 210-pounds. Large physical frame with cleaned up strength and space to keep improving. Strength plays now at the next level.
Hit: RHH. High hands, open stance with hands working down and tight on big front leg lift. Gets into the backside very well carrying posture to forward move and having front leg absorb energy. Easy barrel path to the middle of the field with compact swing having upward finish; hand speed present. Great extension out front and showed the ability to drive the ball easily to gaps/CF. 93.41 Avg Exit Velocity, 90.9 Hard Hit %, 79.4 Max Bat speed, 24.5 Max Handspeed.
Power: 99.00 mph exit velocity
Arm: RH. INF - 82.00 mph. Compact high arm, easy motion and repeatable. Able to make all the throws needed for the position with accuracy on bags.
Defense: Moved well off the bag and showed the range to cover position. Handled bag on throws and willing to stick his nose in for picks
Run: 7.74 runner in the 60.
Body: XL, durable frame standing 6-foot-2, 220-pounds. Thick thighs, and a power bottom built for the rigors of a long season. Body should tighten up with age if he is diligent.
Hit: Makes consistent hard contact, and with excellent “Early Connection” metrics, the swing is going to play at any level, although it is not an impact bat as average is concerned.
Power: Plus, natural, light tower power, with some loft. Blast Motion/Trackman data confirms that Walczykowski’s power tool projects. He hit a few balls in his BP round that Blast & Trackman did not record that still haven’t landed, and were still on their way up crossing the fence line; true light tower power. With “Early Connection” metrics above MLB averages right now, we can forecast the swing will develop quite nicely as he matures with age and strength.
Field: Makes routine plays and all the necessary throws with proper technique. Moderate agility and moves around the bag well.
Arm: Average arm. Makes accurate throws on double play feeds with some zip.
Comp - Hybrid between current MLB players Pete Alonzo (New York Mets) and former Jesuit standout Rhys Hoskins (Philadelphia Phillies)
Summary - Walczykowski is a first-base only type, however his pitching efforts definitely play at the high school level and will be effective. His approach is the best asset of his game and he could be a high On-Base-Percentage type player, which will help play up the hit tool and power. He certainly can hang his hat on the bat in my opinion and will be a monster at the college level. He does not have impact tools (besides the power), that jump off the page, but he can no doubt hold his own.
