Defensively he plays through the baseball with fluid footwork, a normal exchange and an accurate arm with carry. He is a solid athlete which runs a 7.21 in the 60.

Wallace has been a name to know throughout the youth ranks, for years. A player that has gained recognition throughout the state as a player to watch. His high school career started with a bang as freshmen, helping Greenbrier when the 5A West conference championship and a state semi-final appearance.

In the summer competing for the Arkansas Prospects, Wallace has gained national recognition as a top 50 prospect nationally. This fall he committed to Arkansas after an extensive recruiting process with the elites of college baseball.

Wallace’s overall offensive prowess is what sets him apart from the competition and will be what determines how much stock MLB organizations put into when his time comes. So far all signs point Wallace as a legitimate prospect, that hits for raw power, with advanced arm strength and solid defensive ability. He is a player that I am excited to cover over the next three seasons.
