View Draft Report

Wyatt possesses one of the most advanced hitting eyes of the entire 2019 draft class. After ranking third in the nation in walks (63) as a sophomore in 2018, he ranked second in the country with 52 walks through his first 44 games this spring. However, while Wyatt has an outstanding on-base percentage in his two seasons as a starter with Louisville, there are questions about the amount of power he possesses. He looks the part of a physical, slugging first baseman at 6-foot-4, 230 pounds, but he hit only six home runs as a sophomore and had seven through his first 44 games as a junior. His power numbers were similarly underwhelming in the Cape Cod League in 2018, when he hit just four home runs in 40 games but slashed .305/.458/.438. Scouts believe Wyatt’s power will come, once he learns how to get into his legs more during his swing and becomes less passive at the plate. He’ll also need to improve the tempo and increase the load of his swing to help generate more power. As it stands, Wyatt uses the entire field well for doubles and has all the attributes of a hitter who could take a step forward once he gets to pro ball and makes a few adjustments. Wyatt is athletic for his size, but will likely be limited to first base at the next level as a below-average runner.

Top Rankings

Organization Prospect Rankings

TRACK RECORD: Wyatt was coveted at Louisville for his exceptional command of the strike zone and a frame that should easily produce the power required for first base. The Giants drafted him 51st overall and watched as he quickly advanced to low Class A after signing. Wyatt had to wait until instructional league to get back on the field in 2020 after the coronavirus pandemic canceled the minor league season.

SCOUTING REPORT: It's no secret that the Giants want to unlock Wyatt's power. To do so, in addition to extensive work with Giants coach Pat Burrell, they had Wyatt take part in daily faux home run derbies pitted against teammate Connor Cannon while facing the high-velocity pitching machine. The drill was designed to unleash Wyatt's selective aggression on pitches he can drive while still utilizing an all-fields approach. Defensively, Wyatt has soft hands and presents a big target but still needs to improve his footwork around the bag.

THE FUTURE: If Wyatt can sufficiently alter his approach, he could evolve into the prototypical masher at first base. He'll likely restart his path at high Class A.
TRACK RECORD: In college, Wyatt became known for his extraordinarily selective approach at the plate. That approach, plus hints of burgeoning power, was good enough to convince the Giants to select him in the second round and sign him for $997,500. After a quick tune-up in the Rookie-level Arizona League, Wyatt split most of his first pro season between short-season Salem-Keizer and low Class A Augusta.

SCOUTING REPORT: Wyatt's already the kind of player who seems to know the strike zone better than minor league umpires. His strength and swing plane makes the Giants believe he'll have plus power once he becomes a little more aggressive with pitches he can impact. They point to Brandon Belt as a player who faced similar challenges to start his pro career. Wyatt is a fringe-average defender at first base.

THE FUTURE: Wyatt will likely return to low Class A Augusta in 2020 to continue working to unleash the power that he'll need in order to profile at his position.

Minor League Top Prospects

In three years at Louisville, Wyatt racked up 134 walks while striking out just 90 times in 630 plate appearances, in the process cementing a reputation as one of the most discerning hitters in the NCAA. That tremendous batting eye translated to his first test of pro ball, where he walked 26 times against 29 whiffs among three levels. The downside of that passivity, however, is an apparent lack of power that would be expected from a first baseman who stands at 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds. A little more aggression should lead more power as he moves up the Giants’ chain. Scouts who saw him as an amateur also suggested Wyatt could tap into his power more frequently by better utilizing his legs in his swing and adding a more pronounced load. Wyatt is a surprising athlete for his size and is a smart baserunner despite below-average footspeed. With more experience, he has a future as a classic slugging first baseman.
