Walter Ford is a 2023 SS/RHP with a 6-1 165 lb. frame from Pace, FL who attends Pace. Tall and slender athletic build, really projects well physically. 7.36 runner, has very athletic actions in the middle infield and moves well to both sides, can make plays on the move and is smooth athletically, can get overaggressive at times on defense but will learn to slow the game down with experience. Right handed hitter, was timed up immediately, has strong hands for his age and creates present bat speed, hard pull contact with jump, keeps his swing simple and short and repeats his mechanics well. Also pitched and may have a higher ceiling on the mound. Arm works very well from a compact high 3/4's arm slot, has fastball life at the plate. Fastball topped out at 87 mph, has been up to 89 mph at a PG event since then. Flashed tight spin on a short curveball that could develop into a power slider in the future. Quality two-way prospect. Good student. Named to the 14U Sunshine East Showcase Top Prospect List.
