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.

Physical Description:Wheeler is long and wiry, a kind of Von Hayes body type.
Medical Update:Healthy.

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.
