Scouting report
Wilson's performance has leveled off since his epic tear through the upper minors in 2018 and '19. Even as the Braves were clamoring for stable starters in 2020, Wilson only threw 15 innings and was reduced to making an emergency NLCS appearance, in which he competed admirably. As his secondary stuff has looked largely unimpactful against big league hitters, Wilson's saving grace will likely be his command. He'll work his low-90s sinker at the knees, then run his four-seamer up the ladder to finish hitters, and Wilson has great command of his two-plane, upper-70s curveball. He seemed to lose feel for his mid-80s cutter/slider last year, and while he can locate his changeup, it simply isn't that good. The depth of Wilson's repertoire and his command of it make him a high-probability rotation piece but what he can lean on to miss bats is pretty narrow. He has fifth starter stuff but the command will help it play up and hopefully enable WIlson to eat innings in a way more commensurate with a 1.5 WAR type of starter. (Alternate site, MLB)
