Age At Draft: 18.5
Walton is a strong, physically mature player for his age with an extremely muscular and well-built 6-foot-3, 220 pound frame. With that physicality comes plenty of raw power, that’s driven by his strength and imposing bat speed from the right side. Walton developed a reputation as one of the better hitters in the 2023 class as an underclassmen, but he didn’t get much exposure on the 2022 showcase circuit thanks to an arm injury. A strong offensive performance during the 2023 season with a prospect-laden IMG Academy team should help his case offensively, as Walton led a team that included standout catcher Zion Rose in hitting with a .473/.526/.770 slash line, six home runs and more walks than strikeouts. Walton has a level swing path that should lead to plenty of hard hit line drives and more in-game power in the future as he adds to his already impressive physicality and elevates the ball more consistently. He’s a good runner for his size, but should be an average runner in the long term, who fits in an outfield corner. Walton is committed to Miami and seems like the type of player who could be an immediate run producer if he gets to campus.
