Power / Speed Score
A simple calculation that divides the athlete’s Exit Velocity Max by the athlete’s 60 Yard Dash time for the given event year. For example, 98 MPH / 7.00s = 14.00.
The highest Edge Score within the given year. Edge Score is a comprehensive score that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing an assessment of an athlete’s overall visual ability.
The 5-foot-10, 160-pound freshman threw three pitches for strikes, including a fastball that he easily located to both sides of the plate at 78-81 mph. Wheeler’s fastball spun at a 2,281 rpm on average, an impressive rate for his velocity band, with true backspin and carry out the hand. His breaking ball has out-pitch potential, as Wheeler spun it at 67-69 mph while averaging 2,300-plus rpm that created sharp spin off an 11/5 plane, and he consistently landed it for strikes. Contrarily, he effectively limited spin and vertical rise on his changeup, keeping it down in the zone. Wheeler’s certainly a name we’ll monitor as the spring and summer seasons roll on.
