Wilson looked like a natural in the Rangers' blue threads, taking ground balls and batting practice in front of an excited crowd of on-lookers. Wilson even sent one pitch yard during his bp session.
Wilson played college baseball at North Carolina State minor league baseball for the Rockies.
“It’s an honor just to be here,” he said, via The Seattle Times. “Growing up as a little kid, I dreamed of playing two sports and I always played both. Just to be here and have this opportunity, I’m grateful. It’s truly humbling to be able to play with these big leaguers, guys like Prince Fielder, Adrian Beltre and Elvis Andrus. ”
