Jacob Wilson (utility player)
Jacob Clinton Wilson (born July 29, 1990) is an American former professional baseball utility player. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Oakland Athletics and Houston Astros, and in the KBO League for the Lotte Giants.
Born in Bartlett, Tennessee, Wilson graduated from Bartlett High School
Wilson played college baseball at the University of Memphis for the Tigers from 2009 to 2012. As a senior, he was the Conference USA Player of the Year after hitting .320 with 17 home runs and a 1.009 OPS.
Wilson was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 10th round of the 2012 Major League Baseball (MLB) draft. He signed with the Cardinals and made his professional debut with the Low-A Batavia Muckdogs, and hit .275 with 6 home runs and 25 RBI. In 2013, he played for the Single-A Peoria Chiefs and High-A Palm Beach Cardinals, slashing .243/.336/.424 with 18 home runs and 82 RBI.
In 2014, Wilson started with Palm Beach before being promoted to the Double-A Springfield Cardinals. He hit .302 with 5 home runs and 41 RBI before his season came to an end after 66 games due to a knee injury. Wilson split the 2015 season between Springfield and the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds, slashing .230/.302/.407 with 18 home runs and 77 RBI. During the 2016 season, he split time between Memphis and Springfield, finishing the year batting .223 with 14 home runs. In 2017, Wilson played for Springfield, posting a .248 batting average with 17 home runs and 66 RBI in 129 games for Springfield.
On December 14, 2017, the Washington Nationals selected Wilson with one of their two picks in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft.
In 2018, Wilson retooled his swing over the off-season and emerged as a more successful hitter, quickly progressing in the Nationals organization from the Double–A Harrisburg Senators to the Triple–A Syracuse Chiefs while playing multiple infield and outfield positions. With a batting average above the .300 mark near the International League season's midway point, Wilson was named to represent the Chiefs in the 2018 Triple–A All-Star Game. He finished the season with a .278/.347/.408 slash line with 7 home runs and 55 RBI in 108 games between the two levels, as well as four rehab games with the rookie–level Gulf Coast League Nationals.
Wilson was invited to participate in major league spring training before the 2019 season with the Nationals. Wilson began the year with the Triple–A Fresno Grizzlies, and hit .313 with 15 home runs and 48 RBI across 54 games before he left the team on June 9.
