7. Jacob Wilson
Shortstop, Grand Canyon
Jacob Wilson has been one of the most accomplished, mature hitters in the country during his stay at GCU. He's got a prolific eye at the plate with an extremely advanced approach and a grand willingness to use the whole field. Wilson never strikes out. Like, ever. In 2022, he took 25 free passes, punching out just seven times.
Wilson showcases 40-grade power but many believe he'll grow into fringe-average pop in the pros. He's an average defender at shortstop and could comfortably move to third base or second base. Elite instincts on the field and makeup off the field, Wilson checks a ton of boxes and is a very popular figure among his peers and evaluators.

5. Jacob Wilson, SS, Grand Canyon
The son of former big leaguer Jack Wilson, Jacob led NCAA Division I in strikeout rate (3 percent) while batting .358/.418/.585 last spring, then was the best hitter on the U.S. collegiate national team. He's a fundamentally sound hitter and defender with average speed and solid strength. He offers a higher floor but less ceiling than Gonzalez.

7. Washington Nationals
Jacob Wilson, Infield, Grand Canyon
If the Athletics are disappointed with the No. 6 overall pick, the Nationals would be downright upset over this outcome. The three-worst teams each have an 81 percent chance of landing a pick in the top six. Getting the seventh pick would sting. Still, a lot of good players in this class and Wilson is one of them.
The Nationals are absolutely loaded and Wilson would be the cherry on top. This is probably the best hit tool in the class with absurd contact rates and fringy power that he gets to with an efficient swing plane. Wilson has a shot to play shortstop, but could shift to left field or second base as a pro. An infield featuring Wilson, Brady House and CJ Abrams would be awfully fun.

18. Twins: Jacob Wilson, SS, Grand Canyon
Wilson’s father, Jack, played 12 years in the big leagues and will now be an assistant coach at Grand Canyon. Not that the younger Wilson needs help after hitting .358/.418/.585 as a sophomore, then performing on the Cape and going 4-for-11 with USA Baseball.

Wilson seems to have it all, both offensively and defensively.
The only question is would he have put up these numbers against top competition.

Wilson sounds like Trea Turner II, so Nats probably grab him
