Jared Walsh Stats & Scouting Report College Baseball, MLB Draft, Prospects
Scouting Report: Walsh leveled out the uppercut in his swing and produced a more consistent bat path through the zone, adjustments that transformed him into one of the organization's best power-hitting prospects. Walsh now turns around good velocity with plus lefthanded power to all fields. Walsh still swings at pitches he shouldn't and projects as an average hitter at best, but that's enough with his power. Defensively, Walsh is a smooth defender with plus hands and instincts, a strong arm and excellent footwork around the bag at first base. He's a below-average runner and still raw in the outfield.
The Future: Walsh gives the Angels something they need as a lefthanded-power bat, and his ability to mop up on the mound at the end of blowouts gives him another edge. He'll start 2019 back in Triple-A and has a chance to make his big league debut during the season.
