[BA] 16. Ryan Wheeler
The Diamondbacks continued their run on corner infielders in the 2009 draft by
selecting Wheeler, whose stock had fallen after a disappointing junior season
at Loyola Marymount. He returned to form after signing, however, batting
.361/.462/.540 between Yakima and South Bend and earning the organization's
minor league player of the year award in just half a season. Because he's not
viewed as a true masher, Wheeler moved across the infield to third base last
spring and spent most of 2010 playing there, though he also played a little
first base and left field. Wheeler is a bat-first player who stands right on
top of the plate and uses the whole field. He shows the ability to drive the
ball out to the big part of the park at times. He has a good approach and has
worked hard to improve. Wheeler is a fringy defensive player at third base with
limited range and footwork, but he did improve as the season went on. He has an
average arm and some scouts think he can be an average defender at third, in
spite of well below-average speed. He'll need to make that happen or show
consistent power to all fields to avoid becoming a tweener, with not enough bat
for first base and not enough defense for third. He'll return to Double-A to
open 2011.
