Wheeler attended El Camino Fundamental High School in Sacramento, California. He was a two-sport athlete, playing in the outfield for the baseball team and playing quarterback and defensive back in football.[1]
Wheeler played college baseball at Sacramento State University.[2] In 2009, he was named a second team All-American by Baseball America after hitting .385 with 18 home runs and 72 runs batted in.[3]
Wheeler was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the first round of the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft.[4][5] Prior to the 2010 season, he was ranked as the Rockies' seventh best prospect by Baseball America.[6] His best minor league season came in 2011 with the Class AA Tulsa squad.
