Regardless of being comparatively younger, he has pitched in components of seven main league seasons up to now, debuting with Atlanta as a 20-year-old again in 2018. Whereas many early debutants are on All-Star trajectories and Wilson was thought of a prime 100 prospect going into the 2019 season, he has spent most of his profession to date as a reasonably unremarkable swingman.
