2026 review

Donovan Walton turned into steady utility production once he got the reps: he hit .261/.358/.448 with a 17.2 K% and a 10.4 BB% over 268 PA across 92 games, adding 9 HR, 36 R and 32 RBI split between LAA and ATH. His contract was selected by LAA May 22, he was designated for assignment Jul 8, and ATH claimed him off waivers Jul 12, with his last game for LAA on Jul 5 and his first for ATH on Jul 17. Undrafted in NFBC drafts, he finished 498th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 255th of 660 hitters and 30th of 75 second basemen. His .356 wOBA ran 34 points above his .322 xwOBA over 268 PA, and he hit .306 over 62 AB in Jun against .222 over 63 AB in Sep. The TDK LABS card tracked the climb: org-filler infield depth in late May, holding through a cold stretch by early Jul, regular playing time in a lineup thin on other options by early Aug, and by late Sep a utility infielder making the most of his opportunity.
