Walker attended Nachez Valley High School, and was named Most Outstanding Player of the 2015 Senior Babe Ruth World Series, where he threw a complete game shutout in the final, and the River Dogs claimed their first national crown since 1998.
SPENCER JOHNSON
Johnson comes to the Lefties from the University of Utah, where he pitches for Coach Mike Crawford in the Pac-12 Conference. This hard-throwing right-hander from Walnut Creek, CA is a 6’5”, 210 lb physical player who was named to the second-team All-Diablo Valley League as a senior at Northgate High School. In 2013, Johnson also appeared in the Area Code Games and was named a Contra Costa Times Star of the Week after throwing a shutout in a 2-0 win over the defending league champion.
