Focus Area Comments
Hitting Ability: Wallace may be one of the best hitters in college.
He's got tremendous plate discipline and is a very tough out.
Power: He has power to all fields, with the ability to turn on inside
pitches or go with outside pitches and hit them out.
Running Speed: Considering his size, he's not a bad runner.
Base running: Wallace is a good base runner -- he'll even steal a base here
and there thanks to good instincts.
Arm Strength: Despite some funky arm action, Wallace has above-average arm
strength.
Fielding: He's got good hands that should make him fine at first base as a pro.
Range: His range is limited and he's got bad feet. His lower half should keep
him limited to playing first.
Physical Description: Wallace has been described as a good athlete trapped in
a bad body.
Medical Update: Healthy.
Strengths: One of the better bats in the Draft class with power to spare and
outstanding plate discipline.
Weaknesses: His body will limit him defensively, though the bat should make
up for it.
Summary: Drawing rave reviews for his work in the box, he's one of the best
hitters in college and perhaps in the entire Draft class. His
unbelievable plate discipline will undoubtedly be attractive to some
teams, though it's unlikely he'll play anything but first as a pro.
He could be the kind of Major Leaguer who hits .300 with 25 homers
and a high OBP annually.

BA scouting report: Wallace was a bad-bodied third baseman then, tipping the
scales at close to 260 pounds. Many scouts still see him
as a bad-body third baseman waiting to move to first, but
others see more. Many see the best natural hitter in the
West. Wallace has a strong swing with above-average bat
speed; his swing path stays in the zone a long time and
he has outstanding plate discipline. Defensively, Wallace
had made just eight errors at third in 50 games, and he
has at least average arm strength to go with nifty feet.
While he’s cleaned up his body, he still has huge thighs
that make it hard for him to get low enough to properly
field groundballs. Scouts that think he could stay at
third compare him to 2007 Indians first-rounder Beau
Mills, who also had questionable skills at third. Those
that don’t care for him cite his body and the short
careers of players built similarly, such as Bob Hamelin.
Wallace’s bat should get him drafted in the first round
regardless, and most scouts give him at least above-
average raw power grades.
