Wilson is coming into this season as one of the top ‘27 arms in the whole state, Wilson was the only freshman last year to make the A’s Area Code Underclass team last summer. Seeing his size during pregame, I was impressed on how much stronger he’s gotten since the summer. During the BP before the game, Wilson was putting on some good swings in the cage, a lot of his approach was to the middle of the field trying to get base hits. In the game, Davis went 1-3 with a nice base hit to left field. Wilson also started on the bump for the Broncos, another big reason I wanted to come down to the Central Valley. Coming out the gate, Davis was pounding the zone with fastballs which was sitting between 89-93 MPH. There is a lot of tilt in his fastball when it comes out the hand. Wilson had a plethora of pitches in his bag that he showed off. His curveball was sitting between 76-77 with some good break, his sweeper was between 81-83 MPH. The pitch that I thought was the most effective was the cutter, when thrown to left handed hitters it was unhittable, he adds velocity to it as well so it's more firm out the hand. It's for sure a swing and miss pitch that will be deadly in the next couple years. I was very impressed by Wilson since he’s only a sophomore, the young buck has a very high ceiling and will only continue to dominate as he gets older and sticks to baseball.
