Wohler

2/21/16 - Wohler is a 6-foot-2 175-pound right-handed hitting first baseman in Kansas’ 2017 class.  He ran a 4.28 home to first and has an exit velo of 85 mph. At the plate, thin and open stance, aggressive swing, hard consistent contact during batting practice, gap-to-gap.  On the infield, 82 mph positional velo, works behind the ball, fields in athletic positon, quick catch and release with momentum through catch. Ideal projectable pitcher’s body. Works to a tall balance point, slight turn, throws downhill. Quick, clean arm action, high three-quarters arm slot. Overall athletic delivery with rhythm and flow. High percentage of strikes with his fastball, 82-85 mph. Breaking ball with 11/5 shape, at times short, 70-72 mph. Change-up with arm-side run, 77-78 mph. Wohler is a very interesting class of 2017 prospect that is already trending up physically and velocity-wise – last fall he was a rail thin 6-footer, topping out with his fastball at 79 mph. With his sound pitching delivery and clean arm action, as he continues to fill out his projectable frame, there isn’t much doubt there is more in the tank velocity-wise.
