Physical Description: Big, burly build. Long legs and levers. Tall target at first base. Athletic for size. Strong throughout his frame. Already physically filled out without any room left for adding to his frame.
Hit: Even base and slightly open stance. Moderate leg lift as a timing mechanism into his load. Moderate weight transfer. Smooth, adjustable swing. Takes hard cuts. Good bat control and keeps his head on the ball. Shows good rotation in swing, letting his hips lead his hands. Comfortable letting the ball travel and driving it the other way with strength in his hands and wrists. Stays through the ball on his swings. Able to pull hands in on inside pitches. Patient approach at the plate. Has a chance to have an average hit tool. Grade: 45
Power: Easy bat speed with quick, strong hands and wrists. Creates a good vertical bat angle with a load to get the ball in the air. Has power to his pull side and to the opposite field. Shows ability to match plane. Should hit enough to get to above average raw power. Grade: 55
Field: Moves fairly well around the bag. Sets up a good target. Inconsistent hands fielding. Grade: 40
Arm: No looks at throwing arm other than flips to first, which were on-time, accurate and led the pitchers well. Didn't have any issues getting the ball there from distance with a flip. Got the ball out of his glove quickly without rushing. Grade: 45
Run: 4.35-4.45 home-to-first times. Can use long legs to extend himself on runs down the line but not a strong runner out of the box. Grade: 30
Overall: It's a high bar to clear to hit enough to profile as above average, or even average, at first base. Wyatt has the hit tool, strength, swing and power to be a good major league hitter, though the bat might end up being a little light as a first baseman. Wyatt is a big, burly ballplayer who really doesn't profile at another position so he has to hit to make an impact and play first. He shouldn't have a problem clearing the wall in right in San Francisco or driving the ball to the gap in the opposite field there. Being average as a hitter at first base without defensive value or speed makes it hard to profile as above average, though there's a good chance Wyatt can hit enough to do it if things break right.
