Angels select Will Wilson with 15th overall pick in the 2019 MLB draft

With the 15th overall pick in the 2019 MLB Draft, the Angels selected Will Wilson on Monday, June 3rd. Wilson is a 6-foot, 184 pound shortstop from North Carolina State University. Wilson, a junior, slashed .344/.452/.674 this season with 16 home runs, 32 walks, and 45 strikeouts in 218 at-bats.

From MLB Pipeline:

Though he’s not physically imposing, Wilson has quick hands and deceptive strength that give him at least above-average raw power. A right-handed hitter, he has a knack for putting the barrel on the ball. He shows the ability to hit for average and power, and he has done a better job of drawing walks this spring despite his aggressive approach.
