A 6-foot-6, 170-pound projectable right hand pitcher.  Each time we see Walsh, he improves with mechanics and velocity.  He does a nice job of getting his 6-6 frame to balance and then closing the distance to home plate.  He lands in-line with the plate and delivers from an over the top arm slot.  He was effective in his three innings of work including one 8 pitch inning.  Walsh showcased an 83 MPH fastball with good command in and out.  He added a 66-68 MPH curve with 11/5 break and his out pitch was a 70-72 MPH change with late movement down in the zone.
