Wiepert really displayed the versatility and athleticism this week. Handling multiple positions on defense as well as jumping on the mound. At 6’1, 180 lbs, he’s a quality runner for a 3B/C profile and moves with noticeable athleticism. Flashed above average arm strength from both positions during the workout and carried the defensive ability over into the games where he made quality plays throughout. At the plate, his ability to generate hard contact has consistently improved and there’s enough feel for the barrel to spray contact around diamond. He keeps his levers tight to his body and stays connected throughout the swing process. While his ceiling is likely highest as a position player with the chance to hit for power, he did touch 88 mph on the bump with his FB and it’s not out of reach to think his arm talent could continue to improve on the mound.
C Mark Wiepert (Wilsonville, 2025; OR) has added strength onto his frame since we last saw him in August at the Junior Future Games. Now built at a stronger, more proportional 6-foot, 180-pounds. Wiepert put together an impressive all-around showing, starting with a noteworthy 7.12 60-yard dash which is exceptional for his size & age. He worked with a certain ease in BP, maintaining rhythm and balance throughout his swing as he produced consistently hard gap-to-gap contact. Wiepert owns above-average raw power for his age, generating a max exit velocity of 96.5 mph with an average mark of 88.7 mph. His ability to hit the ball hard and hit it in the air is noteworthy, as his furthest batted ball traveled 353 feet while he also hit the ball 253 feet, on average. Defensively, Wiepert showed a strong arm that topped at 76 mph from the crouch and on-the-bag accuracy as well, popping in the 2.00-to-2.12 range during his defensive workout. It was a strong showing for the Wilsonville backstop and he’ll look to carry this positive momentum into the season.
