Scouting Report
Large Frame, 6-foot-3, Walsh is physical, long levered with present strength. He is a capable first baseman with instincts for the position. He displayed a solid skill set for picks and footwork around the bag. His transition and exchange are hindered by his need to throw from the comfort of a high ¾ slot. His rhythm and fluidity will improve with more time in present frame as well as the development of multiple angle throws. In the box, Walsh is a physical presence with a sound approach. He strides to a slightly closed position, establishing a strong launch position and staying balanced throughout his swing. His swing is short and efficient with solid weight transfer and use of his lower half that manages his natural power. Walsh has a chance to hit for average and power. He pitches from an overhand slot with consistent tilt. His fastball has fade sink and ranged 77-81. The overhand curveball had consistent depth with occasional bite, 70-72. He maintains a feel for his changeup, 70-71, which had some straight fade. Walsh maintains an evenly paced delivery with easy arm action and body control. He displays pitchability and maturity as well as strength increases will likely provide velocity improvement. Walsh is a legitimate two way Division 1 prospect.
Future
Walsh is an accomplished two-sport athlete that may likely possess the ability to play football as well as baseball at the next level. He appears destined to be a legit middle of the order bat, but hard to walk away from his size and strength accompanied by zone feel on the mound. Regardless of the path he chooses, rest assured, his services will be in high demand.
