Top-10 Profiles of 2024: No. 5 Sebastian Wilson
December 25, 2024
Coming in as our No. 5 most-viewed profile of 2024 we have Tennessee commit OF Sebastian Wilson (IMG Academy). Currently the No. 1 ranked player in Illinois and No. 28 nationally, Wilson had one of the most dominant spring campaigns in the state despite only being a freshman. The left-handed slugger hit his way to a .420 average with 15 doubles, four triples, six home runs, 40 RBIs, 51 runs scored, 25 walks and a 1.286 OPS - good enough to earn him Prep Baseball Second-Team All-State honors.
Wilson is one of the most impressive prospects not just in the state, but the country. He has all sorts of power and feel to hit from the left side of the plate, and he continues to get faster and pack on strength to his 6-foot, 196-pound frame with each look.
From 10/22/24: “Currently ranked as the No. 1 prospect in Illinois, OF Sebastian Wilson (Lane Tech, 2027) did nothing but further cement his status as one of the top players not just in the state, but in the country. He improved his 60-time from a 6.76 to a 6.58 in less than a year, and his left-handed swing is as strong as ever; reaching up to 101 mph for his max EV with a max distance of 400’. He has explosive hands that create all sorts of bat-speed through the zone, elevating the ball with ease to all fields. On defense, he’s an athletic mover with bounce in his step and fluid footwork, pairing with confident hands and a well above-average arm (T89 mph OF).”
