Scouting the 2023 Draft: Brock Wilken

 Brock Wilken 3B.  DOB:  6/17/2002.  B-R, T-R.  6'4", 225 lbs.  

2022(Wake Forest):  .272/.362/.602, 23 HR, 34 BB, 71 K, 293 PA.

2022(Cape Cod League):  .229/.368/.413, 5 HR, 21 BB, 35 K, 133 PA.

2023(Wake Forest):  .364/.463/.939, 12 HR, 14 BB, 18 K, 82 PA.

Tall, big-boned but lean, Wilken has tremendous power with a selective approach at the plate which yields 3-true-outcomes stat lines.  Strong throwing arm will allow him to stick at 3B in the pros.  Ceiling is 40+ HR's but the risk is in the K's and whether he can keep his BA above the Mendoza Line. If he's still on the board at #16 I can see an FZ-led organization drafting him.
