Lefty With Real High-School Bite, Still Proving It at USF
In the 2026 season, Wheeler’s San Francisco line shows a work-in-progress arm: 13.0 innings, 13 strikeouts, 13 walks, and a 6.23 ERA, which says the raw stuff is there but the command still has to catch up[3]. The upside is the left-handed profile and a track record from Bellarmine College Prep that included a 0.68 ERA, 34 strikeouts, and just three earned runs allowed in 31 junior-year innings—so the ingredients for a sneaky-good matchup arm are obvious[1]. If your team wants a competitor with real strike-throwing upside still being polished, he’s worth a look[1][3].
