Although he wasn’t originally reported to be included in the Seunghwan Oh trade, 22-year-old outfielder Forrest Wall will soon become a person of interest for all Toronto Blue Jays fans. Wall, a native of Winter Park, Florida, joined fellow Rockies minor league Chad Spanberger in the first significant trade made by the Jays this month.
A first-round pick of the Rockies in 2014, Wall was drafted out of Orangewood Christian High School in Maitland, Florida. Although he began his career as a second baseman, he’s spent the last few seasons transitioning to center field, a position many scouts believe is better suited to his skill set.
