Scouting Report
1/31/16 5-foot-9, 160-pound two-way prospect. The primary pitcher sat 72-73 from a high 3/4 arm slot with more in the tank. The lefty also displayed solid feel for a 66 mph curveball with tight 1/7 rotation and a 67 mph changeup with some arm-side run. The right-handed hitter starts from an open stance and initiates his swing with a leg-lift stride. Wetzel registered an 81 mph bat exit velocity and ran a solid 7.15 60-yard dash. The freshman showed athletic actions in the outfield with straight line carry on throws of 78 mph.
