5-foot-9, 165-pound right-handed pitcher, athletically built. Short, clean arm action on the back-side, easy effort, high ¾ slot. Tall and fall delivery, strides long down the mound for size, works on-line, lands toe-closed, finishes square to home in a defensive position. Fastball sat 78-80, touched 81, sinking action. Curveball, shape varied between 11/5 and 12/6, 68-71, gradual break to pitch. Changeup, 68-70, sinking action. Added intent overall will add to his game. Pitches to contact, induced two flyouts.
Deep South Invite 10/14/18:
Walls has an athletic look to his 5-foot-8 frame and is aggressive to plate from the mound. Using a high-3/4 slot, showing a good high front side and shoulder tilt for leverage. Would like to see Walls be more aggressive bring his front side in and generating more power pulling his arm through. But overall he has solid fastball components and intent in trying to get to his stuff. Walls fastball touched 77 MPH and pitched in that (74-76) range. Walls projects best as a sinker ball guy type, pitching down in the zone. He shows the athleticism to repeat his delivery and be a quality strike thrower. Walls also shows some shape to a curve-ball at 60-61 but will need to work on finishing the pitch with more intent down the line. While he did not feature a change-up in live situations Walls high front side and up-temp finish will give him good deception as he incorporates a change-up.
