Jordan Walker - Prospect Profile

MLB.com - May : "There are some mixed opinions on his hitting ability because his size creates a naturally long swing and he needs to improve his ability to recognize breaking balls. But he also shows some feel for hitting and the ability to make adjustments, so he should make enough contact to tap into his pop."

Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - May 13th: "He performed at a high level against solid competition while all those eyes were on him. Walker has a solid feel to hit with plus raw power and plenty more projected as he grows into more strength."

Ian Smith - Prospect 365 - Apr. 26th: "Walker is a true 50-hit, 70-power type prospect in a 6-foot-5, 220 lb. body who’s young for a prep player in this class. Walker is long levered, and with it comes some swing-and-miss concerns. However, the infielder shows an ability to consistently find the barrel when he makes contact."

Dan Zielinki - Baseball Prospect Journal - Mar. 22nd: "He’s one of the top prep infield prospects in this year’s draft class. He features above-average power from the right side of the plate from his 6-5, 212-pound frame. "

Jeff Ellis - 247 Sports - Feb. 14th: "He might just be the best power bat period. Walker is very long-limbed, and a big kid in general, and while this naturally leads to power projection, it can also lead to more swing and miss in his game."

Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - Jan. 31st : "A 6-foot-5, 220-pound corner infielder, Walker has above-average power now and a chance for a lot more as he continues to develop physically and add strength to his frame. "
