Scouting the 2023 Draft: Jacob Wilson

 Jacob Wilson SS(College).  DOB:  7/10/2002.  B-R, T-R.  6'3", 175 lbs.

2021(College):  .313/.376/.440, 4 HR, 17 BB, 19 K, 205 PA.  
2022(Northwoods):  .302/.365/.417, 2 HR, 9 BB, 3 K, 107 PA.

Dad is former Pirates SS Jack Wilson who was also his coach at Thousand Oaks HS in SoCal and now an assistant coach at Grand Canyon where Jacob mans the SS position.  Jacob may be a sleeper candidate to go #1 overall as he has the athleticism to stick at SS and the size and projected power to play 3B.  Elite K and BB ratios with emerging power.  Performed well in wood bat summer leagues.

  1. I think it would be great if the Giants can find a worthy middle infield prospect to draft #1. If they draft a good shortstop prospect, they could keep him at SS, or move the player to 3rd or 2nd base if they need help there. They've drafted a bunch of pitchers early the past 2 drafts, so they have some good pitching prospects coming up.
