Duke RHP Grayson Walker brings size, strike-throwing, and swing-and-miss upside
Walker is a 6-foot-3 graduate-student right-hander at Duke, and his profile points to a polished, competitive arm with room to outperform his raw velocity. At Dickinson, he produced 82 strikeouts over 65.2 innings across two seasons, including 72 K in 53.2 innings in 2023, while also showing he can handle both starting and relief work. Reliable recruiting info lists him at about 88 mph with his fastball, so the appeal is command, pitchability, and toughness rather than pure heat—a good fit for a staff that values strike-throwers who can develop into a steady innings piece.
