Jacob Wilson

22-Year-Old ShortstopSS
Oakland Athletics
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wilson hit .438 with two doubles, one walk and one strikeout in 16 at-bats during big-league spring training. He slashed .318/.378/.455 with one home run, four steals and a 10.1 percent strikeout rate in 23 games at High-A last season. An extreme hit-over-power shortstop prospect, Wilson does not project to hit for double-digit homer power in the majors, but he has an excellent hit tool and projects as Oakland's shortstop of the future.

Contributes game-winning hit
SSOakland Athletics
September 25, 2024
Wilson went 1-for-3 with a walk-off RBI single and a walk in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The rookie drove home Zack Gelof with one out in the ninth inning to snap a 4-4 tie and send the Athletics home winners in their penultimate night game at Oakland Coliseum. Wilson now has singles in three straight games, but he's shown very little pop since his late-August return from a long IL stint with just four extra-base hits across 86 plate appearances.
