Drafted in the 14th round (407th overall) by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2018 (signed for $200,000)
A 28th-round pick of the Diamondbacks in 2015 coming out of high school, Wilkening is a stout, 5-foot-10, 200-pound catcher. He has the body for the position with a thick, strong lower half. An average receiver with an above-average arm, Wilkening fits the profile of a day two pick as a college catcher with enough bat speed to have some hitting projection to go with his solid defense. His .372/.455/.588 line this year with nine home runs makes him one of the most productive catchers--statistically--in this year's draft class.
