Overall
Summary

Walker has a history of strong minor league performance but has struggled significantly in limited MLB opportunities (6.59 ERA in 27.1 innings). In 2026 with Norfolk, he posted a 4.40 ERA over 14.1 innings with solid peripherals (28.6% K rate, 51.5% GB rate, 8.9% BB rate). Walker has been claimed and re-claimed multiple times by the Orioles, Braves, and Blue Jays, indicating organizational uncertainty about his MLB viability. He will serve as a fourth lefty option in Baltimore's bullpen.
