    Waltenbury gives Canada another lefthanded slugger who should be picked in the single-digit rounds, and unlike Orr he doesn't have a college commitment that worries scouts. He's committed to Connors State (Okla.) Junior College. Waltenbury has more present strength than Orr in a mature 6-foot-4, 210-pound body. He has some polish for a Canadian hitter, showing knowledge of the strike zone to go with a swing that features above-average bat speed and good extension. His swing has some loft, and he's shown the ability to use the entire field. His defense is a question, as is his modest athleticism. His range is limited and his arm is fringe average.
