Sebastian Walcott

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Texas Rangers #21 prospect in 2023
  BA Grade/Risk: 50/Extreme
  
  Track Record: Walcott continues what has been a more fruitful pipeline from the Bahamas to pro ball in recent years, adding to a list that also includes Marlins prospects Ian Lewis and Janero Miller, as well as Marlins mainstay Jazz Chisholm. Walcott is a big, athletic player who is at shortstop for now but his athleticism could fit in the outfield as well depending on how his body develops.
  
  Scouting Report: Walcott is already quite tall at 6-foot-4 and has plenty of room to add power as he grows into his body. He's got bat speed and present strength, too, and has already produced exit velocities up to 105 mph. He might not be a true average defender at shortstop, but his arm strength--which is at least plus--will serve him well on the left side of the diamond. The arm and power would fit at third base or a corner outfield spot if he needs to move as he gets bigger and stronger.
  
  The Future: Walcott will debut in the Dominican Summer League, but the Rangers showed last year with Anthony Gutierrez that they're unafraid to be aggressive with even their youngest players if their performance warrants an accelerated timetable.
  
  Scouting Grades: Hit: 50. Power: 55. Speed: 55. Fielding: 45. Arm: 60
