Forrest Wall, CF, Colorado Rockies

Timed him 4.10 and 4.11 to first out of the LHH box; 4.32 on the turn at first; 7.65 home to second; 11.32 home to third (sliding triple).

Third go of it in the Cal League in 2018; repeated after an ineffective 2016 and a 2017 nearly completely lost to injury. Had just really started to turn it around at the plate when he got injured, too … Bigger and stronger this year; body seems more underneath him than in years past, with better musculature and hopefully better durability in turn. Throwing arm looks considerably stronger in the outfield — a big development considering it’s been a major question mark the last few years. Speed is there as much as ever both in the outfield and on the bases; still leading off for Lancaster this year and picked up right where he left off with hard, aggressive base running in my early looks … Biggest development is significantly more aggression early in his approach at the plate; now a first and second pitch swinger on purpose this year; trying to be more aggressive to hit good pitches given to him early rather than work counts as he had in the past. Swing can still do damage; some loft power is there and plenty of gap-to-gap pop, especially to his pull side and especially considering his speed. Forrest Wall is behind schedule after a couple High-A hiccups, but if things go right in 2018 he won’t be in Lancaster for long, and there’s still time for him to get back on the prospect track for the Colorado Rockies — though the window is closing.
