Wilks has one of the higher offensive upsides among this year’s high school class thanks to his power potential. A physically mature lefthanded hitter who can drive the ball to the power alleys, Wilks takes big, powerful hacks, but he has shown an ability to make plenty of contact throughout his amateur career. He has a hitch to his swing, but it has not hampered his ability to square up velocity. Defensively, he needs some work to polish his reads and routes, but as an above-average runner with an average arm, he has enough tools to be a solid corner outfielder. Wilks has signed with Southern Miss.
