C/1B William Walsh (Mount Carmel, 2026) is a physical 6-foot, 205-pound backstop that flashed bat strength in BP. Walsh consistently elevated to the pull-side in BP from a short and uphill left-handed stroke, getting off aggressive hacks throughout and flashing potential middle-of-the-order upside as he continues to mature. He was regularly on the barrel (83%) and almost exclusively elevated the baseball (91%), too.
