A 5th round pick out of small Gardner-Webb University, Jeremy Walker was mostly deployed as a starting pitcher during his first 3 years with the Braves organization. He was also, to put it mildly, largely forgettable as he gave up tons of hits, rarely struck too many guys out, and fielded like his hair was on fire (seriously, the man posted sub-800 fielding percentages in consecutive years). Of course, as with most prospects, there were also some nice parts to his game — he had ungodly good ground-ball rates at every stop in the minors and rarely walked anybody.
