Fantasy Impact
While Walker’s fastball velocity reached the highest mark of his career last season, he struggled with consistency, often getting hit hard. On nights when his slider was off, he had little choice but to rely heavily on his sinker, leaving him vulnerable. This offseason, he focused on refining his mechanics, emphasizing staying more square and directing his upper body toward the mound to avoid counter-rotation. With his improved mechanics and renewed command, Walker will enter spring training vying for the San Francisco Giants' closer role.
