MD Top Prospect Games 6/20/17
Wharton has an athletic swing that produces consistently sound contact. He has a simple stride and leg kick and is able to get the barrel on plane with the pitch early. He improved upon his lower half usage and should be able to put balls in the gaps from time to time. In the outfield, he doesn't set the ball up very well and has some trouble getting the ball out of his glove. Throws have average carry.
