07/31/2019 - Baseball Factory National World Series at Pirate City - Session 2 (Ages 14-18) Wilken is an athletic and talented 2021 2-way prospect that worked hard all week. In the OF, Wilken is on time with his prep step, he works behind the ball, and has a quick first step to the ball. He works behind the ball and makes accurate throws to the bases. At the plate, Wilken starts in a wide stance and gets his front foot down on time. He has a gap to gap approach and stays back on the ball. He needs to continue to create backside drive with his lower half and keep the barrel inside the ball. On the bump, Wilken gathers over the rubber, separates on time, and works down hill. He attacks the bottom part of the zone with his fastball and has some feel for the changeup. He has good direction but he needs to continue to have a strong front side and ride his back leg toward the plate. Wilken will continue to improve with experience and we hope to see his progress in the future.
