Comments |
| Hitting ability: | Wheeler makes consistent contact from the left side of the plate. |
| Power: | Power's not a big part of his game, but he might have some, as he showed in his three-homer game. |
| Running speed: | Has plus speed. |
| Base running: | He's very good on the bases and knows how to steal. |
| Arm strength: | Has an average throwing arm from the outfield. |
| Fielding: | Has the tools necessary to be a good center fielder. |
| Range: | Uses his speed to run down balls well. |
| Physical Description: | Wheeler is long and wiry, a kind of Von Hayes body type. |
| Medical Update: | Healthy. |
| Strengths: | His speed and his ability to make contact. |
| Weaknesses: | He doesn't seem to have much power. |
| Summary: | Wheeler is a pretty advanced college hitter whose best assets are his ability to make contact and his speed. He should be the type who can hit at or near the top of a lineup with the potential to be a plus base-stealer. He uses his speed well in center and has the skills to stay there. Without much power, he probably won't be off the charts, but could be a very solid college draftee in June. |
