2020 Chachi #12

It hasn't entered my collection yet, but Walker does have one Phillies card (so far) as he appeared in the 2020 Topps Now Road to Opening Day - Summer Camp limited edition set.  I thought he was a strange inclusion at the time the checklist was released but I'm now glad he's in the set, as it might be his first and last Phillies baseball card.

Walker was one of four members of the 2013 pennant winning Pirates team in camp with the Phillies this spring, along with Andrew McCutchen, Josh Harrison and Francisco Liriano.  He was one of three non-roster invitees to make the Phillies opening day roster, along with Phil Gosselin and Ramon Rosso.
