Physical Description: Wildred is built like an NFL running back, with a thick lower-half, strong arms, and a compact upper-half.

Hit: Wildred Patino goes up to the plate and looks to take aggressive hacks. There are times where he is too aggressive and he swings at misses at below-average fastballs in the heart of the zone. The swing plane is inconsistent at times it's level swing and then there are times where he looks to add more loft. He has the bat-speed but his timing tends to be off, he tends to be early which results in hitting the ball weakly. As he progresses up the minor leagues I worry about his quality of contact and him not being able to get by with his speed against better quality defenders. I do worry about his ability to pick up spin out of the hand, there are multiple times where he gets fooled by fringe breaking stuff. Grade: 40

Power: Patino generates good bat-speed and shows average raw strength. His bat-path results in a fair amount of ground balls which ultimately limits his home run upside as his swing is currently constructed. If he adjusts the bat-path there is some hope that he can post average power outputs, but his swing-path limits that as of right now. Grade: 40

Field: He is a true center fielder. He reads the ball well off the bat and takes good efficient routes to the ball. He has the foot speed to go and catch balls in the gaps, and loves himself a diving catch. He is solid at going forward and collecting weak hit balls and is really good at going backwards. He does play with flair out in center field. Grade: 55

Arm: The arm is more than good enough to play any of the three outfield spots. His throws have carry and are accurate. He gets the ball in quick and has some zip on his throws. Grade: 55

Run: Wildred is a plus runner. He has a quick and fluid stride that paired with his plus foot speed should allow him to be a base running threat. He is an aggressive baserunner, always looking to take the extra base. He shows solid base running instincts and paired with his raw speed he puts pressure on the defense when he is on base. Grade: 60

Overall: Wildred Patino is someone who plays with a lot of swagger. He loves to show off the speed and make highlight reel plays out in centerfield. What may hold him back is his bat. I have concerns about the quality of contact he produces at the moment. He needs to work on his timing and his swing-path for him to ever become a big league regular. As things stand the glove, arm, and run tools are what is going to carry the profile.
