Colin Patrick Walsh (born September 26, 1989) is an American professional baseball second baseman in the Atlanta Braves organization. He previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Career

Walsh attended Stanford University and played college baseball for the Stanford Cardinal. He was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 13th round of the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft. He signed with the Oakland Athletics prior to the 2014 season.[1]

Walsh was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2015 Rule 5 draft.[2] He made the Brewers' Opening Day roster in 2016.[3] He was designated for assignment on May 31, 2016, to create room for the newly claimed Neil Ramirez.
