Andrew
Walton

Andrew Walton is a young 2022 1B/C prospect from Lanier High School.  He checks in at 6-foot-1, 190-pounds. Walton has an excellent right handed swing and approach for a big fellow.  He is fluid in his actions with a negative toe tap load to stay balanced and on his backside. His hands are loose and the baseball stays hit, as he is in the zone with his barrel with bat-speed. He posted one of the best exit velocities at the event at 90 mph. Defensively Walton has an excellent arm stroke for a catcher and was accurate, getting his feet where they need to be consistently. Walton is a big kid and is only going to get stronger, he has the agility to progress into a very good backstop as he continues to work and maintain his flexibility, while adding a little more suddenness to what he already possess.  Either way this is a good looking bat with a legit chance to be impactful on defense and on offense, hopefully he stays with the catching because it is in there, but will have to work for it. Can’t wait to see what kind of player he grows into and will be a close follow going forward.
