5. Walker Jenkins, OF, South Brunswick HS (Oak Island, NC) 

Jenkins can hit liners for incredible velocities. He's got ridiculous power and he hasn't come close to reaching his ceiling. He's another guy teams will have to be patient on but he'll be worth it.

6. Walker Jenkins

Outfield, South Brunswick 

Jenkins is long, lean, athletic, and projectable at 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, showcasing some of the best bat speed and power in the class. He’s an easy above-average runner at present with a huge arm that will play at any outfield spot. He's performed at every stop along the amateur circuit and earned a spot on Team USA 18u as an underclassman. This is one of the premier bats in the 2023 class, even if he does physically mature into a corner role when it's all said and done. We’re talking about a an impact bat that should hit for average and power, akin to the likes of Riley Greene in his hay-day.

5. Pirates: Walker Jenkins, OF, South Brunswick High School (Oak Island, N.C.) 

Like Max Clark, Jenkins didn’t set the PDP League on fire, but he showed an ability to barrel up the baseball and registered some high exit velos as well. He has the chance to hit, and with a ton of power. Look for him and Clark to get locked in as the summer continues.
