FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) — Davis Wilson has former Major League Baseball players singing his praises.

“Big things can happen for him. It’s awesome,” said 12-year Big Leaguer and Wilson’s pitching coach, Matt Garza.

That’s because the Clovis North HS junior is already committed to a college baseball powerhouse, Vanderbilt, and there could be even bigger things ahead for him

“Getting the commitment out of the way, it released a lot of stress on me,” Wilson said. “I was missing Thursdays and Fridays in the fall to go on [college] visits in the South.”

There was no shortage of big-name suitors for Wilson – Oklahoma, Stanford, Ole Miss, to name a few – and can you blame them?

“He’s got a great fastball,” said Clovis North head coach Jeff Prieto. “He’s pitching at 90 to 93 [mph] right now. He’s got a great cutter, a great changeup, and a good breaking ball.”

So, how did colleges across the country know about this rocket right arm from Clovis? Let’s just say his parents did not drop the ball on this one.

“Something that me and my Dad do together is he’ll put up a GoPro and record three innings of work, and we’ll post it on social media,” Wilson said.

“It’s amazing what social media can do for you… I think that was a big factor in getting noticed by a lot of the bigger schools.”

Now his parents are navigating uncharted waters, hiring an agent for Wilson with several MLB teams interested in drafting him next year.

“My wife’s a school teacher, and I work in software sales,” said Davis’ father Michael, “so we don’t really know this world.”

That’s not the only way Davis is bracing for his bright future. He also works with former Major League pitchers from the Central Valley, Garza and Marcus Walden, to take his game to an even higher level.

“He approaches me with a lot of questions, so he’s really hungry for the game,” said Garza. “He is doing a really good job of adjusting, progressing, and getting better each week.”

Wilson has bigger things on his mind than baseball right now, like the upcoming AP exams, but it’s the sport he loves, and he has the talent and drive to take it far.

“Everything I’m going to do is earned,” Wilson said. “I don’t like when things are given to me, like handouts. I need to earn my way up the rankings.”

But, the junior right-hander approaches the hype with humility. His biggest goal is to win a Valley championship in his last two high school seasons at Clovis North.

Over 18 innings so far this season, Wilson has allowed one run and struck out 20 batters.

“I have to keep my mindset on that right now and be a team guy here, and not just worrying about myself.”
