Wills was a draft prospect as a prep, as well as tracking to be a draft pick last summer before missing time. He’s a plus runner who’s spent time playing multiple positions in his 2 years at UNC-W. There’s above-average raw power here, but he’s struggled at times to get to it, showing significant variance in both his launch angles and exit velocities, with the aggregate batted ball profiles being slightly underwhelming. The hit tool is strong, with there being minimal chase and whiffs being under control, which is a positive sign.

Thach is a big bodied 1B with plus bat speed and power, posting a 113.5 mph max EV in 2024. With Thach you’re going to get a bit of chase and whiff, but the hit tool projects as average all things considered. The power production has been off the charts, both at UNC-W and on the Cape, and won’t slow down in pro ball. You’re looking at a potentially a low average, 25-30 HR, everyday 1B type.
