All-star rookie from athletics lets MLBS top-pitchers suck

All-star rookie from athletics lets MLBS top-pitchers suck


play

Atlanta-Er is a 23-year-old child.

He still plays baseball video games before going to work and Fortnite when he comes home.

He loves pizza, burgers and a good milk shake.

His name is Jacob Wilson, Rookie Shortstop for Sacramento's athletics.

It is also simply the best pure old school grille in baseball.

Wilson, who played at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix two years ago, will organize his coming out party in the All-Star game.

He is the first rookie-shortstop chose by the fans to start an all-star game, the youngest A player who has started an all-star game since Vida Blue in 1971, and joins his father Jack as the only father-son combination to be all star shortstops.

“What he does is incredible,” said Kansas City Royals All-Star Shortstop Bobby Witt Jr.

In this world of the starting angle and the starting speed, filled with walks, strikes and Homern, Wilson is anomaly.

Wilson meets with only 26 additional goals and nine homes .332.

And are you ready for it?

He only beat 28 times and ran 20 times in 340 bats.

It is as if Tony Gwynn and Rod Carew, who gained 15 punch titles in their career in Hall of Fame, went through the door.

Gwynn, a career.

Carew, a career.

So here comes Wilson, the young child, with an old soul that reminds everyone of how baseball looked earlier when there were pure rackets in the game.

“I can't speak to Jacob.

“He only goes up there, he sees the ball, he hits the ball and he gets hits. I absolutely can't.”

So how do you get it out?

“Believe me, we tried everything,” said Cal Raleigh, All-Star Seattle Mariners. “He only has a really good zone control. He doesn't try to cause too much damage, but he can do damage. He is just a shabby guy who only tries to do everything to get to the base.

“It is impressive what he can do, especially at this young age.”

“It's not fair”

Carlos Rodon, All-Star-Pitcher from Yankees, saw him on Monday in the clubhouse of the American League, stopped him and groaned the difficulty of taking him.

“I said: 'Age, I see Scouting reports about you and it means I should throw up fastballs and in because you shouldn't have hard contact.' I throw up a four-person and you hit a double of me.

“You don't know what you can expect with a man who can make high -quality contact with a low grievance,” said Rodon. “It is not fair. What do I do with such a man? You won't be punching him up. So you try to get a pitch that limits the start or limits of the exit speed, and hopefully it will increase. That makes it difficult, especially if you have a guy because he drives this run more than likely because he puts the bath on the ball.

“It's very different what guys do now.”

Well, even refreshing.

“It's a great time to see, it's great to see,” said Rooker. “Only the ability to vibrate on every field, beat every field and meet every field is something that is unique in our game. And it makes it incredibly valuable.

“That's why they chose him as a starter. It speaks for the success he had, the effects he had in a short time, and the statement he does.”

Wilson's stroke average and total are second for New York Yorkes MVP Aaron Judge, and Wilson could be the first sporty player to be higher than 0.321, since the former MVP Jason Giambi 2001 is sufficient MVP from A..

“I definitely received a lot of comments from boys,” said Wilson.

“I want to swing. I never want to go. I just want to beat and climb on the base.”

Yes, the same attitude that Carew and Gwynn made during their career and led them directly through the Cooper Cooper doors.

It is also similar to San Diego Padres, three -time hit master Luis Arráez. He is a career.

“This guy beats everything,” says Wilson about Arráez. “You throw the ball everywhere and he will swing and beat. It is quite great to see only, and from the point of view from a home point of view, I love to see it up there and just fight whether it is a hard field or just take your base.

Of course, he is a relapse with rackets today, almost as enthusiastic a walk than getting a goal. It will make the managers see how their Power -Hitter takes a walk with runners in the goal position instead of trying to drive in runs.

“What good is a walk from my Power -Hitter if he can't run?” An NL manager told USA Sports. “Everything he does is to clog the base paths. I don't understand it.”

Wilson not either.

“There are many people who do that,” said Wilson.

“For me, the average stroke should be a status that is important for every bat. ''

Who knows, maybe even one day, a .300 -strike man, is again considered cool.

“I can only hope,” said Wilson.
