Red, White & Blue Steele
Baseball America
|August 04 2017
Showing power, speed and confidence, Oklahoma’s Steele Walker emerged as the most consistent hitter on USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team.
Some call it swagger. Some call it flair or bravado.
Whatever the word is, Oklahoma outfielder Steele Walker’s got it.
From his dyed blonde hair— inspired by Brazilian soccer star Neymar—to his strut to the lefthanded batter’s box, Walker carries himself with self-assurance and pizazz that sticks out on the diamond.
“He’s got a little flamboyance about him,” Collegiate National Team manager John Savage said. “A little showman about him, very confident. He has a little edge.”
Walker batted .290/.352/.414 with 17 doubles and three home runs as a freshman at Oklahoma. He followed that by hitting .333/.413/.541 with 16 doubles and eight homers this season.
