Matt Wallner is another big, strong, college power hitter. Has played CF in college but profiles as a RF with an arm that can hit 96 on the mound. Has pitched some in college but wants to be a position player per MLB Pipeline scouting report. You always worry about swing length in guys over about 6'3" and his K rate jumped a bit in the CCL. Still tough to pass on that kind of power. So far he is hitting .313 with a dinger in 4 games in 2019. My comp is Jay Bruce. MLB Pipeline has him ranked #26. Fangraphs has him at #27.
