Notes

Comments

3/15/24
Illlinois commit, currently ranked No. 26 in the state. Ultra-projectable 6-foot-5, 190-pounds, long limbs with lean strength throughout and plenty of room to fill out. The right-handed hitter started at third base and hit out of the three hole, finishing the day 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored. The right-handed hitter has a compact setup, staying low throughout his operation and utilizing his lower-half, hands rock back with some rhythm to help with timing, flat path that looks to stay on top of the ball, pounded the ball through the six-hole for two of his singles on the day and also recorded a double to the left side. At third base, moves well for his size, confident hands with fluid footwork, arm plays with easy life across the diamond and accuracy. High-level prospect in the state with a high ceiling.
2/24/24

Plenty physical at 6-foot-5, 190-pounds, 3B/RHP Jack Wheeler (Morris, 2025; Illinois commit) put up numbers across the board in his workout. At his size, Wheeler ran a 6.94 60-yard dash and jumped 28.4 inches in our vertical jump test. He produced hard contact to the opposite field throughout BP and seven of his nine batted balls came off his bat at 93+ mph. His highest output registered at 98.2 mph on our TrackMan, with his two other hardest swings checking in at 96.3 mph and 97.9 mph, respectively. Wheeler tied for the event’s firmest throw across the infield (T90 mph) and his arm strength translated to the hill, where his fastball played at 88-90, touching 90.5 mph.

2/24/24

INF/RHP Jack Wheeler (Morris; Illinois commit) has all sorts of upside in his 6-foot-5, 190-pound frame. At the plate, the right-handed hitter uses his levers well to create loud results off the barrel, working flat through the zone with whippy hands; maxing out at 98.2 mph for his EV with an average of 92.4 mph (T347’). He’s an above-average defender, playing with rhythm/timing to go along with soft hands and a clean transfer, also displaying a strong arm (T90 mph) across the diamond. Wheeler then hopped on the bump and showed some intrigue, running his fastball up to 90.5 mph. He also showed feel for the strike zone with his curveball, landing in-zone 60% of the time at 72-76 mph.

3/01/23

INF/RHP Jack Wheeler (Morris, 2025), fresh off a unanimous First-Team All-Conference basketball selection, continued to look like one of the top 2025 baseball prospects in the state. The Illinois commit has a 6-foot-4, 185-pound, long-limbed build with plenty more physicality to come down the road. His bat speed and strength continued to tick up as he routinely made some of the hardest contact of the day while staying repeatable, flat through the zone and up the middle of the field. Wheeler averaged 94 mph off the bat during BP (up from 85.9 mph in 2022), and peaked at 97. Wheeler, a 7.08 60-runner, moves around the infield well, especially when looking at his size and age. His actions are steady and fluid, pairing with a strong arm (T91 mph INF) - which is seven mph harder than our previous look last winter. Wheeler continues to trend in the right direction and looks poised for a big spring.

Illinois commit. High-end freshman prospect that was a member of the 2021 Team Illinois Junior Futures team. Muscular build, athletic frame, 6-foot-3, 165-pounds right-handed hitting middle infielder started at second and batted third for Morris. At the plate; athletic setup with a wide base, fluid rhythm into a short stride. Repeatable, compact swing with bat speed through the zone, whole field approach. Wheeler went 1-for-2 with a single down the right field line and later stole second base. A future shortstop at the next level; has advanced defensive actions, lateral range, soft hands, and a quick exchange.

2/27/22

Wheeler, an Illinois verbal commit, features one of the highest upsides out of all the 2025s in attendance, as he features a long-limbed, high-waisted 6-foot-3, 165-pound frame fit with athleticism.
