Thanks. Impressive indeed.

I hope Walker turns out, I know there's a lot of folks who don't think he makes enough contact. I thought this article on Joey Gallo by Conor Glassey was great. It evaluated strikeout rates at Class A, of which Adam Brett Walker also spent this past season.

Adam's strikeout rate per plate appearance is 20.8%, which isn't outlandish.

As you can see players such as Giancarlo Stanton, Andres Galarraga, Troy Glaus, Paul Goldschmidt, Ryan Howard, Chris Davis, and Pedro Alvarez among others had higher strikeout rates.

He's only 21, so he's a little under the average age for the Midwest League.

Curious where he starts next year. Ft. Myers? If so, he'd still be ahead of the curve age wise as the average age last year was 22.8 years old.

May 14 was a BOMB - Cleared the (tall) batters eye in dead center

It really was a Bomb, but I thought the HR on July 15th in which the LF never moved was possibly even longer. Even if it wasn't - I thought it hilarious how the entire defense never took one step during the entire play. He then hit another HR in that game in which the ball is seen being run over by a car as it hits the street 50 feet outside the stadium.
