View Draft Report
An impressive two-way player with Stetson, Wilson was a 24th-round pick of the Rangers in 2017. He pitched and hit for the Hatters in all four of his seasons, culminating in a senior year where he moved to the bullpen and into the starting lineup. He had only infrequent plate appearances in his first three seasons, but hit .307/.418/.469 with three home runs in 179 at-bats this spring. He’s got more upside as a pro player on the mound and posted a 2.13 ERA in 31 relief outings with a career-high strikeout-to-walk ratio.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/High
Track Record: Wilson was a two-way player at Stetson--where he played alongside Mariners first-rounder Logan Gilbert--and signed for $80,000 as a seventh-round senior sign with the Braves in 2018. Wilson's minor league career has been superb. He has posted a 2.24 ERA over 165 total innings, with the bulk of that work coming out of the bullpen. The Braves placed him on the 40-man roster following the 2021 season. His 2022 season was cut short before it began thanks to Tommy John surgery.
Scouting Report: Wilson found success with a three-pitch mix that featured a four-seam fastball with solid carry, a devastating split-changeup and a get-me-over curveball in the upper 70s. In 2021, Wilson sat in the 92-94 mph range and touched 96, but his fastball featured plus riding life with nearly 19 inches of induced vertical break. His low-80s split-change was his go-to secondary and his best bat-misser, generating whiffs over 50% of the time. The pitch falls out of the bottom of the zone, has around 10 mph separation from his fastball and an 1819-inch gap in IVB. Wilson's split-change was the primary reason he set a career best in strikeout rate in the upper minors in 2021. His curveball is more of a fringe offering he can land in the strike zone as a change-of-pace pitch.
The Future: Wilson likely would've gotten a chance to make his MLB debut in 2022 if he was healthy. The Braves have been impressed with his work ethic throughout the rehab process. He profiles as a multi-inning or low-leverage reliever if he comes back with the same stuff.
Scouting Grades: Fastball: 50. Curveball: 40. Changeup: 60. Control: 50. -
Track Record: Wilson was a two-way player at Stetson—where he was teammates with Mariners first rounder Logan Gilbert—and signed for just $80,000 as a seventh-round senior sign. His first two years in pro ball were sound, but he was outstanding in 2021, so much so that the Braves placed him on the 40-man roster after the season.
Scouting Report: Among Braves minor leaguers, only Indigo Diaz managed a better strikeout rate than Wilson’s 41.4% mark in Double-A and Triple-A. Wilson throws from a high, three-quarter slot and has a 92-94 mph fastball that touches 96, a low-80s split-change and an upper-70s curveball he uses as a get-me-over pitch. The splitter is Wilson’s bread-and-butter, a pitch that racked up tons of whiffs this year and falls out of the bottom of the zone. That pitch was the primary reason he was able to set career-bests in strikeout rates against upper-level minor league hitters. He struck out more than 40% of batters at both levels.
The Future: Braves officials have lauded Wilson’s competitiveness, and given his performance, three-pitch mix and strike throwing, think he can be a multi-inning or low-leverage reliever.
