A's 2023 first-round pick Jacob Wilson (No. 6 overall) has taken the league by storm and is keeping up with the best player in baseball, Aaron Judge, in several categories.

Wilson, who is batting .335 with nine home runs and 42 RBIs, is the first fan-elected rookie All-Star starting shortstop. He was selected sixth in the 2023 amateur draft.

GCU baseball coach Gregg Wallis calls the season Wilson is having "amazing." "He just obviously is proving that it doesn't matter the level, he's just a really good baseball player," Wallis said.

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The news on Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson's injured left hand was much better than feared, however his status for Tuesday's All-Star Game is uncertain.

Among all players, Jacob Wilson's 149 wRC+ (100 is league average) on the year ranks him as the No. 14 hitter in all of baseball, while his 3.2 fWAR moves him up a spot to No. 13.
