The wiry athletically built Wang checked in at 5'9 143.7 lbs presently and posted a very solid overall workout. Running an event best 7.1 60 yard dash he moves with athletic strides and strong body control. Then moving into the defensive workout his arm/actions in RF were impressive for a rising 8th grader who uncorked consistently online/accurate throws to both 3B and home plate with a present top arm velocity of 78 MPH. He finished up his day with an intriguing performance during batting practice where his RH swing showed an ease of operation with present bat speed that allowed him to consistently drive the baseball with authority in the air to the middle/pull side of the field. Wang demonstrated a sound feel for hard contact producing a top end exit velocity of 88.1 MPH while averaging 77.6 MPH throughout his rounds of batting practice. His swing path generates more hard line drive contact than loft at present reaching a max distance of 303' while working to a 60% sweet spot rate. The future Villa Park product is a name to keep eyes on for the future of SoCal High School baseball.
