Scouting Report
Wideman is a fascinating draft lottery ticket. It's explosive athleticism and outstanding tools, with a lot of rawness in the profile. The former Western Kentucky outfielder recently committed to Clemson for 2026, so he'll have an interesting decision to make depending on where he is drafted.
Wideman's production in 2025 (10 home runs, 45 stolen bases, and a 161 wRC+) is an elite set of numbers. There's plus raw power and double plus speed here. It's also tough to know what to make of his hit tool. This season, he chased at an almost 40% rate, with swing-and-miss both in and out of the strike zone. When he does make contact, he hits it a mile. Wideman's 107 mph EV90 was 92nd percentile in college baseball this year.
There's work to do on the hit tool and swing decisions. The athleticism and tools are hard not to be excited by.
