Ryan Wideman
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Wideman has the ingredients of a useful corner-outfield regular if the 2026 gains are real: speed, enough bat-to-ball to support a decent OBP, and offensive pressure on the bases that can change innings. The upside path is tied to his hit tool stabilizing around average and his contact quality becoming more consistent against better velocity and spin, which would let his speed play as a separator. The floor is a speed-and-energy fourth outfielder if the bat backs up once he reaches higher levels. Given the third-round pedigree and the early pro adjustment, the most reasonable outcome is a player who settles in as a second-division left fielder with some on-base value and run production.
