Uncommitted Senior Spotlight - C Gabe Wilke


Cooper Trinkle
Lead Scout

As we head into the fall, we are beginning to see tons of 2024 graduates make commitments to play at the next level. Indiana's 2024 class features a deep crop of talent, with plenty of prospects still left on the board. Today, we take a deeper look at '24 C Gabe Wilke of Evansville North HS.

 

 

GABE WILKE C / Evansville North, IN / 2024

If a school needs a lights-out defensive catcher in the 2024 class, look no further than Evansville North product Gabe Wilke. The 6-foot-3, 170 pounder may be the best catch-and-throw backstop in the class, with ample arm strength and a quick transfer, producing pop times ranging from 1.88-1.94. Wilke impressed me this summer with his ability to control the run game, the athleticism that he shows behind the dish, along with soft hands when receiving. Offensively, Wilke has a short, simple swing that should only improve as he continues to add strength to his projectable frame.
