The Uncommitted Spotlight Series continues as we have started the '24 CIF High School baseball season Prep Baseball California is now highlighting some of the top uncommitted class of '25 athletes. The players featured are stellar performers from our 2023 NorCal Uncommitted Games. These JR year players are ones that college coaches and fans should be keeping their eyes on over the coming months.

We invite you to get to know them through the eyes of our Prep Baseball California staff of scouts and the data-backed numbers collected at our events with our partnered companies. TrackMan, Blast Motion, Swift Performance, and Visual Edge provide comparable data to project and evaluate players. All of these systems come together to give a clear picture at what colleges will get when a players steps onto their campus.

Today, we put the spotlight on a NorCal '25 OF Anthony Wilson from Encinal High School. With a compact athletic frame at 5'9 168 lbs Wilson shows an interesting RH hitting offensive profile and had solid performances at the NorCal Uncommitted Games and in his JR. season for the Encinal High School. Wilson shows present athleticism with a good run tool including a 7.05 60 time with burst off the line at 1.68 in the 10 yard sprint split and 3.91 30 yard split. His swing from the RH side shows solid metrically with both quickness in his hand path (21.5 MPH hand speed) and bat path (70.7 MPH bat speed) while adding in a quality turn with his lower half that produces 18.3 G's of rotational acceleration. The combination of his swing metrics with a feel for rhythm/timing during his workouts at Prep Baseball California events has allowed Wilson to flash an intriguing middle of the field approach that consistently generates hard contact (69% sweet spot rate with a 80.3 MPH average exit velocity) and on the upper end shows gap power potential as he maxes out with a 91 MPH exit velocity and has shown 323' batted ball distance with room to continue adding impact over the coming year ahead of graduating high school. His actions are solid in the OF with solid present arm strength (83 MPH OF arm velocity) that he can likely stick in CF long term with an interesting potential to possible handle RF. Wilson put up very good numbers this spring including a .397 AVG/.484 OBP/.589 SLG with 7 doubles, 4 triples, 20 RBIs, 29 runs scored and 18 stolen bases. His solid offensive ability that shows a top of the order potential with depth to back end of a lineup floor with a potential to stay as a premium spot defender in CF Wilson is a name to follow out of the '25 class for college programs who has a chance to raise his profile over the summer/fall headed into his SR. season.
