Rays begin Day 2 by drafting SS Walls

Round 3: SS Taylor Walls, Florida State
Walls likely fell to the third round based on his lack of hitting during his junior season for the Seminoles. He had a much better sophomore season, which he capped off with a solid performance for Team USA last summer.

Walls has above-average plate discipline. He knows how to work an at-bat, and he has more walks than strikeouts. He turns 21 on July 10 and stands 5-foot-10, 180 pounds.
