'Tugboat' Wilkinson getting up to speed in Guardians camp as MLB club's draft pick yyc
“All the draft picks are here,” Wilkinson said. “We’re just getting used to the pro ball. I’m still like new to it. but Cleveland is one of the better pitching development teams in the league. So I’m excited just to get to work with their development guys. Do whatever they can to make me better.”Wilkinson and the Guardians want that to complement the rest of his repertoire.
Then came a chance to join the Chatham Anglers of Massachusetts’ Cape Cod Baseball League for a few months, during which he allowed no earned runs on just one hit and one walk in nine innings of work while striking out 10 batters. “What makes Matt a professional prospect?” asked Jeff Duda, head coach of the Okotoks Dawgs Academy and Washington Nationals associate scout. “There are two things that set him apart.
With the Dawgs, Wilkinson displayed that power, winning seven games and saving five others over parts of four seasons, while posting 121 strikeouts — against only 19 walks — an earned-run average slightly above 2.00 and a WHIP right around 1.00. He especially sparkled last year in guiding the Dawgs to the WCBL championship by tossing the final pitch to cap a campaign marked by a 3-1 record, four saves, a 1.69 ERA, a 1.09 WHIP and 10 strikeouts against only four walks.
