Future Games Player Preview: Davis Wilson

Wilson has a strong case to be the first pitcher to take the pill for Team NorCal’s inaugural appearance at Future Games. The use of his arsenal, knowledge of the game, and smart pitch tunneling will more than likely have scouts on the edge of their seats when he takes the mound.

“Just talking to him [Wilson] on the side, he’s a great kid, talks with a lot of confidence, but the best part is he actually has a personality. I’ve only had the chance to see Wilson throw once this season and that was about two months ago. All eyes were locked in on Wilson as he was set up during his warm up pitches, five batters later Wilson ended up with five strikeouts. The kid can flat out pitch and his knowledge of how to pitch is even more impressive. Wilson had made a comment about how much better his Cutter has gotten since the season and he wasn’t lying one bit. It almost looks like a slider at times but when Wilson puts a little extra on it, the hard/late action creates a lot of swing and miss from the hitters. Wilson has electric stuff and will only continue to grow and get better. I'm a huge fan of the fastball and cutter, Wilson has got a shot to be a real high quality arm in the whole country.”- Hank LoForte, Associate Director NorCal
