Oakland A's Promote Top Prospect Jacob Wilson to Major League Roster

The 22-year-old shortstop has excelled at every minor league level since being drafted sixth overall in 2023.

Jacob Wilson, son of former MLB player Jack Wilson, has a .401 batting average across 72 minor league games.
Wilson has shown exceptional contact skills, striking out only 24 times in 284 at-bats.
He will join the A's for their upcoming series against the Angels, filling a position that has seen multiple players this season.
Wilson's rapid ascent included impressive performances at Double-A Midland and Triple-A Las Vegas.
The A's hope Wilson will provide a much-needed offensive boost at shortstop.
