Coach Kittrell on Eric Walters – “Eric Walters has a lot of potential. He’s a big right-handed pitcher who needs to put on some weight. He needs to get experience on the mound because he hasn’t been pitching that long. He has good sink on his ball, but he
needs to get stronger. He has a bright future ahead of him if he can put it all together.”
