Body Type: 5-foot-11 155-pound prospect with an average build.
Swing Mechanics: Starts in an upright stance. Utilizes a mini leg kick to initiate his load and swing. Showed an uphill bat path and kept his barrel in the zone well.
Hit: Good bat to ball ability with an approach to lift the ball.
Power: 87 mph exit velocity.
Offensive Projection: Had a good natural lift to his swing that will maximize his raw power that is slightly above average. Has the potential to be a gap to gap guy with power upside if he develops more size and strength to his frame. Run: 4.47 home to 1st.
Field: 1.97-2.11 pop time. Behind the plate Wardwell showed a very quick exchange with average footwork and slightly above average quickness in the arm. Throw: 72 mph throw from behind the plate.
Defensive Projection: Shows the potential to stick behind the plate at the next level. Very quick exchange and good hands. If he can increase his raw arm strength then he shows potential to be a guy who can shut down a running game.
