Riley Wilson is 2014 OF with very good actions. The first thing you will notice is athletic actions and a projectable frame with very nice current skills that are well above his peer group. Wilson , 5'10-150lbs., attends Cosby HS in Richmond, VA and showed very well at the event. Wilson posted a 5.12 forty and 4.78 home to first base times with a frame that should add strength and quickness overt the next 24 months. In the OF he showed very clean actions with a nice athletic release showing 79mph velocity. He gets behind the ball well and shows advanced actions in his transfers with nice carry and backspin on his throws. At first base he shows agility and athletic balance and moves well around the bag. Wilson showed 73mph arm strength across the diamond and has very nice body control on double plays. Hitting from the left handed side, Wilson shows very nice leverage in the box with a simple toe turn loading action in his swing, he starts from a open stance and has a very short bat path to the ball. Wilson shows advanced extension through contact and finished very well. Wilson stays back well and hits the ball deep in the zone showing all the signs of developing into a very good college level hitter. He posted a 81mph exit velocity on the radar tee. Wilson is a young looking player with a very nice frame to add size and strength to with natural maturation and hard work. His brother, Tyler is currently pitching in the Orioles organization, and Riley appears to have equal or better athletic actions at the same age. Very interesting player with very big upside. Definite college projection. 4 star rated player
