A college star at Florida State, Taylor Walls did nit have to travel far when the Tampa Bay Rays chose him with their Third Round pick in 2017. A versatile infielder, Walls debuted for the Rays in 2021, and has provided top-level defense at Second Base, Third Base and Shortstop where needed. A light hitter, Walls’ glove is what gets him in the game, and in 2022, he led the American League in Defensive bWAR (2.8), and was first in Total Zone Runs by a Shortstop (14) in 2024.
If Walls could get his OPS to at least .650, he would see considerably more playing time.
