Bill Walsh  
Third Baseman | Vancouver Orcas

Hitting
Walsh is an excellent mistake hitter who belts middle-of-the-plate fastballs or hanging breaking balls. Walsh always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. Most of his hits come against lefties. Left field, right field, center: this guy puts it all over.

Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. His biggest problem in the field simply has to be his throwing arm... it's well below par. Walsh doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a few bases each season without getting caught very often.

2025 Outlook
Walsh performance in AAA is making it difficult for the Vancouver Orcas to ignore him much longer. Expect his name to be on the September call-up list.
