    Shortstop Walter Diaz transferred from Miami to South Florida and posted an impressive .448 on-base percentage--and a less impressive .421 slugging percentage. He has average bat speed, but the ball doesn't jump off his bat as it did when he was in high school and showed potential to be an offensive threat as a middle infielder. He's more of a spray-and-run hitter at present, and he's just a solid-average runner with passable defensive skills at shortstop.
