Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Geoff Pontes
Age: 23 yr
Height: 5-10
Weight: 195 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round 2
RuleV: 2022
Physical Description: Lanky and projectable frame at 6'2, just shy of 200 pounds. Will add strength to his frame as he develops. Very athletic player, he was a former two-sport athlete in high school in California.
Hit: Wide stance at the plate with a moderate leg kick trigger to operation. He has decent bat speed, but struggles with swings and misses, particularly against off-speed pitches. He does showcase decent plate discipline, although the strikeout rate is a tad worrisome. Controlled load during coil, hands start high and are nearly parallel with shoulder. Contact rate is low and approach is rather aggressive, which creates concern over progression of hit tool. Grade: 45
Power: Tapped more into his power after trade from Arizona to Boston. Swing change allowed Wilson to hit the ball in the air more, leading to 16 home runs in Boston's system in 2019. Swing has some natural loft. Worry about contact rate limits how power will play at the next level. More than likely to become a fringe-average to average tool. Grade: 45
Field: Good instincts and speed will allow Wilson to potentially stay in center field long term. Average defense in center field, shows some good range. Move to a corner outfield spot, particularly left field, is possible. Grade: 50
Arm: As mentioned with defense, a move to a corner outfield spot is not out of the question, mainly due to his arm. At best, his arm is average, and will work better in left field in Fenway Park. Arm strength is present. Grade: 50
Run: Has become a noteworthy baserunner in recent seasons, stealing 15-20 bases a season. Moves well thanks to his slender frame, will likely be his best tool moving forward: Grade: 55
Overall: Hit tool concerns will continue to follow Wilson as he makes his way through the Red Sox system. Will need to improve his approach and plate discipline to fully tap into his potential. Projects to be a bench bat for the time being, maybe even a 5th outfielder.
