The thing I like about him is that he never seems to give up. You know he's a hard worker the way he improved his defense. He's looked overmatched at times, but he apparently hasn't let it get to him. I'm not counting him out yet.

Patience will pay huge dividends with Walker.
Did I hear 117 MPH off the bat on his double?

He has a great head in his shoulders. He went from a kid most of us never wanted to see in the OF again to one that we are all pretty confident in when he’s out thereRonnie Dobbs wrote: ↑24 May 2025 16:02 pm The thing I like about him is that he never seems to give up.

No question he works hard and clearly has the ability and mindset to improve when he does so. Gives some hope for his offense. Consistency with Brant Brown could pay off huge. At one point I considered him to be bust proof and while I’m now backing off a bit on that I do think he can still figure it out
Still just 23.

Nice comments. He might be a sparkling addition to a pretty good team.Banner29 wrote: ↑24 May 2025 16:16 pmHe has a great head in his shoulders.

Hero, goat, hero again all in one game.
As for the ball that scooted by thr LF to wall, that’s the 2nd time I remember a ball doing that. He hits it with such velocity his balls get there in a hurry compared to other hitters.
He had better chance than most to get it by the fielder.

I know that he had a critical misplay today in the field but overall I like his progress in RF.
His plate discipline has been shaky.
Much better of late which is encouraging.
As long as he’s not blocking anyone let him play.
Especially against LH SP’s.
Fingers crossed!

It’s refreshing to see the org continue to give him a chance to develop. It’ll pay off!
