Low 90s heavy fastball, well located, is a sort of classic profile of a solid major league starter. In peak years, these guys are often all stars.
Gonna want to be solid in the infield though. Makes the middle infield decisions more interesting.

Here is a scouting report from a site I highly recommend. He actually goes to the games and does his own scouting.

This is from last year but I highly doubt his velocity would have dropped significantly without hearing about it from any of the more major prospect sites.
Here is some more recent scouting reports on Bryce Wilson and Joey Wentz.

Not discuss, but worry. Worry'n em to death brah.
Two starts in a row where Anderson walks 3-4...
"the walks are an issue"
Albies after an injury hitting 250....
"I just don't think after he struggled last year in AAA he can be what we hope"
These guys will have ups\downs and work on things...take a deep breath when looking at the box scores is all.

I think you're looking too much into the discussion. I haven't seen anyone freaking out... its been an open discussion. Also... Albies struggled for a long time before he was ever injured. No one is worried to death for freaking out about things... but it is fair to bring it up for discussion on a baseball discussion forum.
Random guns trained on 19 yos in very hot days don't mean a bunch to me
Plus these guys are building up innings too. They can get tired in that process or sick etc etc
I haven't heard velocity concerns for our guys outside of wentz

I totally agree—I myself haven't even written off Wisler or Blair, though my expectation for the latter have been massively downgraded (I was never too high on Wisler). Nonetheless, I totally understand—from a fan perspective—how it's a lot easier to be very patient with prospects when the product on the major-league field isn't dominated by retreads, castoffs, wash-outs, and similar garbage. You just hope the front-office brass doesn't let that fan impatience infect their decision-making (<cough>Swanson</cough>).

I'm pretty disappointed in both Blair and Wisler. I thought at worst they could be back end of the rotation guys. Just amazing how not good they are.

Blair reminds me of JoJo Reyes
One has to be very patient with pitchers, especially those who have had some success at the lower levels. They develop an "out" pitch and a guy who is struggling can all of a sudden become a contributor. I think the problem with both Wisler and Blair is that they don't have anything right now that keeps the hitter off balance. That's going to lead to nibbling, which leads to walks, which leads to a mistake and you're down three runs in a hurry.
