Walls is a lean-framed left-handed hitting backstop with a smooth, whippy swing that flashes serious power upside. He hits from a relaxed stance with a tall back elbow and a hovering stride, creating looseness and barrel speed through a rhythmic path — reaching a 94 mph max exit velocity with a 362’ peak distance. Behind the dish, he shows a clean arm (75 mph) and an easy, athletic transfer with pop times ranging 2.01–2.07. Strength gains will elevate his game even further.

Brayden Walls, Lake Central High School (IN), 2027
Positional Profile: C/OF
Body: 6-0, 155-pounds. Lean, projectable build.
Hit: LHH. Balanced setup with hands high and tight to start. Big, early load into drive leg paired with a toe-tap timing mechanism. Quick hover stride to follow. Hands work back in time with stride.
Power: 90 max exit velocity, averaged 62.5 mph. 223' max distance.
Arm: RH. C-76 mph. Quick, loose arm action from a 3/4 slot. Arm works fast.
Defense: 2.08-2.12 pop times. Quick footwork out of the crouch with an esy ball to hand exchange. High-intent delivery to 2B.
ATH: 7.60 runner in the 60.

5-foot-9, 130 pound left-handed hitting catcher. Offensively, hits from a slightly open setup with a high hand set and high back elbow. Big load with a drop in the hands. Toe-tap timing trigger. Balanced finish. Shows some bat speed through the zone. Level swing path, pull-side approach (76.4 Max Exit Speed). Defensively registered pop times of 2.33-2.41 with throws topping out at 68 mph. Open setup, solid hands. Arm action and exchange are a bit long, if he shortens up should see a significant improvement in his pop times.
