Scouting Report

Assets
  • Wilson is all about power and he can focus enough to drive in base-runners any way he has to. He'll surprise the opposition with a steal every now and then.
Flaws
  • He's often too aggressive at the plate, resulting in a large number of K's. He's not very slick with the glove, regardless if he's at first, behind the plate, or in the outfield.
Career Potential
  • Quality platoon outfielder/first baseman.
