2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wilson rarely strikes out and is a big-league caliber defensive shortstop. Beyond that, he may not bring much to the table. The No. 6 overall pick in 2023, Wilson has only needed around 25 games at each of the three highest levels of the minors en route to his big-league debut just after the All-Star break. He quickly suffered a hamstring strain that kept him out until late-August, so he didn't end up playing enough to exhaust his prospect eligibility. Wilson struck out just over 10 percent of the time at High-A and Double-A and he struck out 4.3 percent of the time at Triple-A and 9.7 percent of the time in the majors. He is an elite contact hitter, but he is also aggressive at the dish, and he needs the pitcher to make a mistake for him to get a ball he can drive out of the park. He had a poor 24.4 percent hard-hit rate and a 22.2 percent soft-hit rate in the minors, and of his eight pro homers in 107 games, three came in the Pacific Coast League bandbox in Las Vegas and one came in the hitter-friendly road park at Amarillo when he as at Double-A. Wilson is hit-over-power to the extreme, and there's little evidence that there's more than 10-15 homer juice in his bat at peak. He's also attempted just eight steals in pro ball, with zero attempted steals in 28 games in the majors. Wilson should play every day and help your batting average while potentially hurting you everywhere else. Read Past Outlooks
