Walton

8/1/18 - At 5-foot-11, 175-pounds, Walton has a strong, muscular build with broad shoulders and long arms that plays the outfield with excellent body control while taking good routes to the ball. His outfield velocity of 89 mph was tops at the event while his 6.75 60 yard dash time was tied for third best. Walton produced one of the loudest rounds of batting practice that included a bomb to left-center-field while peppering the wall with a few more swings. Using a very wide stance, Walton is able to get to-and-through balls with fast hands while getting excellent extension through the ball from a slightly uphill barrel path. Shows strength at the point of contact. In the outfield he aggressively closed ground to balls, before showing off a quick release delivering accurate throws to the third base and home plate. Walton's combination of power, speed, and arm strength are an intriguing mix of tools that should continue to improve as he continues to physically mature.
