Brian Walks
Relief Pitcher | Fort Mac Roughnecks
Pitching He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. Walks's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. Walks also has a decent changeup. The Fort Mac Roughnecks hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
Defense & Hitting Walks's move to first base is average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Walks is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Walks has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook The Fort Mac Roughnecks signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Walks like a hot potato if something better comes along.
