(Presbyterian Christian, 2026) is definitely a young arm to follow! On Thursday the sturdy built freshman from PCS was up to 83 mph (sat around 82 consistently) while showing off some very solid shape to his breaking ball with 2330 spin. As Walters matures its certain the velocity with grow with him and it will only make his breaking ball that much better. The shape it has now will make it difficult for hitters and any added velocity and action will lead to lots of strikeouts and plenty of college interest.
