In his first professional season, Wise produced at a below average level with .272 wOBA and 66 wRC+. For a guy with above average power potential, he managed to only generate .077 ISO with Vancouver.

Overall Carl hit .235/.273/.310 with .583 OPS, 11 doubles, a triple, a HR, 31 RBI, 4.1BB%, 22.2K% and .293 BABIP.

Launching pad- Lansing starter, but I agree with the scouts, that Wise has a better chance as a catcher.
