Canton South’s DJ Wilson
Canton South senior outfielder DJ Wilson has starred on the baseball diamond since his freshman year and this season is no exception.
The three-time All-Northeastern Buckeye Conference selection and Vanderbilt University signee posted a .535 batting average and scored 22 runs in the Wildcats’ first 13 games.
Wilson, a 2014 all-state selection, has helped Canton South win the NBC title and a district championship each of the past three seasons. He is expected to be a high-round pick in this June’s Major League Baseball Draft.
