Scouting Report: Big righty missed 2008 season due to Tommy John Surgery. 3/4 arm slot. Clean mechanics, but his delivery is somewhat arduous. Fastball sits around 92-93 mph, but he's previously worked around 96-97 mph. He should be able to get back to the mid-90s in the near future, especially if he ends up in a bullpen role. Fastball has average life. Plus 81-84 mph slider misses a lot of bats. He uses his slider as his out pitch. Also mixes in an 85-86 mph changeup that is a work in progress, as it presently doesn't have enough separation from his fastball. Curveball, which sits around 76-77 mph, is also in development. Overall, Wilson has very good control and command, but will need to consistently keep his slider over the plate if pro hitters are going to continually bite on it. Excellent strikeout numbers. Moved between rotation and bullpen in 2009 with Texas A&M after suffering tired arm. His potential as a starter at the major league level will likely come down to how well he can develop his changeup.
