    Wideman got plenty of exposure on the Blue Jays travel team and in two showings at the East Coast Showcase. His tools simply don't grade out exceptionally, despite his experienced approach to all phases of the game. His catch-and-throw skills are his best asset, as his feet work well behind the plate and he can log sub-2.0-second pop times from home to second in game action. He showed off his defensive upside by throwing out two runners in Team Canada's exhibition against the Twins' Rookie-level Dominican League club. Wideman's offensive tools are well behind his defensive prowess. He has well-below-average power and is a 30 hitter on the 20-80 scale.
