[BA] 29. Zach Walters
Walters was the first position player drafted by the Diamondbacks after they
selected eight straight pitchers to start the 2010 draft. He missed part of his
junior season with a dislocated thumb but returned to help San Diego advance to
NCAA regional play. Signed for $97500, Walters was a favorite of short-season
Northwest League managers in his pro debut. He's a smart, physical player whose
aptitude for the game will probably outweigh his tools. He showed surprising
pop from both sides of the plate, with the ability to hit for average. He's a
good runner who shows instincts on the bases. He has a loose body with good
actions on the field and the ability to slow the game down. He's a good,
accurate thrower with good hands, but some scouts question whether he'll have
the arm and range to play shortstop in the big leagues. Walters projects more
as a utility player who can play all infield positions, drawing one comparison
to major league veteran Geoff Blum, who coincidentally signed with Arizona for
the 2011 season. Walters will move on to low Class A for his first full season.
