Cleveland Guardians Draft Pick Compared To Future Hall of Famer

The Cleveland Guardians were busy during the MLB Draft, selecting position players with plenty of upside, especially on offense.

One of the prospects Cleveland drafted was OF Aaron Walton out of the University of Arizona.

Walton has the potential to be a solid defensive center fielder, with an above-average bat.

However, one college scout even compared Walton to arguably the greatest player of all time and a surefire future Hall of Famer.

David Seifert said that leading up to the draft, Walton reminds him of Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout.

"The guy I would probably pick in the second [round] who hasn't received as much attention as he deserves is Aaron Walton from Arizona," Seifert said.

"I just think the world of this guy. He has tools. He's a Mike Trout looking dude that plays center field like Trout. He can throw, he can run, he's got power. He takes bat to ball. I mean, I don't know what else we're looking for."
