Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
St. Johns River commit. Strong and mature 6-foot-2, 190-pound frame. Batted cleanup and was the designated hitter for the Redwings. Was on the barrel from the left side and showed high bat-to-ball skills. Has a hitterish look in the box, and swings with an uphill path that looks to elevate the ball, paired with strong hands. Wildes also showed the ability to use the whole field as well. In the second game of the doubleheader, he swatted a long three-run homer out to right-center field, after tallying two hits in game one of the doubleheader.
Verbally committed to St. John's River State College.
6-foot-2, 190-pounds. The right-hander worked his fastball in the 85-86 mph range to pair with a slider in the mid-70s. Attacked the zone with both offerings. Simple operation with an athletic finish, works in-line and delivers his arsenal from a ¾ slot.
Positional Profile: OF/RHP
Body: 6-2, 185-pounds. Lean, athletic frame.
Hit: LHH. Wider setup with crouch, slightly open stance, small leg lift, comes back to center. Loose, direct, level path, easy, repeatable, line drive contact to the middle of the field. 70.6 mph bat speed with 12 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 93 max exit velocity, averaged 77.4 mph. 305’ max distance.
Arm: RH. OF - 88 mph. Loose, clean arm action, high 3/4 slot.
Defense: Natural athletic footwork, fields the ball cleanly off front foot.
Run: 6.75 runner in the 60.
Showing some real two-way intrigue from the event was OF/RHP Luke Wildes (Benet Academy, 2025). Presenting an athletic and physical build at 6-foot-2, 190-pounds, Wildes led the event in the 60-yard dash, posting a time of 6.75. He also tossed the second hardest bullet from the outfield defense portion of the event at 88 mph. The left-handed hitter also had a line drive-filled round of batting practice, posting a max exit velocity of 92.5 mph. On the mound from the right side, Wildes continued to intrigue; posting the third-highest fastball velocity (86.9 mph), while showing a strong feel for the zone (100% strikes) with his slider, playing tight at 75-77 mph.
