Walters’ determination and commitment to improvement have already made him a valuable asset to his new team.
Walters’ on-field performance speaks volumes about his capabilities as a player. In his first 10 games, Walters has proven himself as a valuable asset for the Hawks.
Walters hit a walk-off RBI double against the Idaho Falls Chukars in the second game of the season. He also recorded the first Hawks home run at Memorial Stadium in the regular season against the Ogden Raptors.

His 15 hits, including three doubles and a home run, have added significant power and excitement to the Hawks’ lineup.
