Wilson
Wemhoff

OF Wilson Wemhoff (Hampshire, 2025) had one of the liveliest arms from the outfield during Tuesday’s workout at the Illinois State Games, and he translated that arm strength to the mound, too. A steady defender with a long and loose arm, Wemhoff sent a ball 90 mph on his best throw to home. His round of BP produced a max exit velocity of 94.7 mph, but sat consistently in mid-80s from the right side of the plate. He barreled his farthest ball a distance of 352 ft. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound prospect ran a 7.11 60 time, too. Wemhoff hopped on the mound Wednesday night and pitched at 84-86, touching 87 mph, with his fastball, that showed noticeable carry (20.8”) at peak. 

OF/RHP Wilson Wemhoff (Hampshire, 2025) is a 5-foot-8, 194-pound two-way prospect who started the day off by running a 7.16 60-yard dash. At the plate he has a controlled swing with quick hands and was consistently on the barrel with authority and loud contact throughout his round. Wemhoff repeatedly back spun the baseball with power coming easily as he produced some of the hardest contact of the day (97.1 mph max EV), the second highest of the event. He also showed off a strong arm in the outfield and put together one of the better bullpens of the day. The right-hander displayed a quiet delivery that has acceleration downhill combined with a long, whippy arm that worked out of a ¾ slot. Wemhoff featured a four-pitch mix, with his fastball playing at 83-85 mph, topping out at 86 mph while filling the zone with heavy arm-side run. He mixed in a curveball that landed for strikes with 11/5 shape, a developing slider with slurve action, and a developing changeup as well.
