Colin Wheeler is a 2022 C/RHP/IF with a 5-11 160 lb. frame from Hamlet, NC who attends Richmond. Medium athletic build with plenty of room to fill out and get stronger. Left handed hitter, starts from a spread bent knee stance, hips are quick and fluid driving his swing, short inside hand path maximizes his barrel accuracy, works mid to opposite field with a line drive swing plane, high average/high contact approach that is well executed, projects well as a hitter. 7.68 runner in the sixty. Sets up low behind the plate, has good balance and body control in all his defensive actions, repeats his footwork and exchanges well, can keep improving with continued work on his strength and lower half quickness. Also plays infield with same sort of balance and solid fundamentals. Took a turn on the mound, compact arm stroke with a 3/4's arm slot that is still developing consistency. Fastball topped out at 78 mph with some arm side running life, also threw a fork ball type change up. Excellent student.
