Scouting Report: Wilson is a 6-foot-3 175-pound right-handed hitting outfielder in Kansas’ 2018 class. He had an 86 mph exit velo and got down the line in 4.78 seconds. At the plate, starts in a balanced set up, reverse to tap for timing, in line stride, level path though the zone. In the outfield, posted event best 86 mph positional velo, over the top release, moves to the ball with a purpose, creates momentum though the catch, high three quarters release, loose arm, arm works, mostly accurate throws. Wilson posted the top RHP velo of the day at 84 mph, wide shoulders, throw downhill, with some effort, slightly across body, fastball worked at 81-84 mph, over the top release, sharpe 11-to-5 breaking ball, mostly down in zone, some sink on change-up at 69-74 mph, fastball arm speed, still gaining command. Projectable arm action and build would suggest a velo increase as he matures.
