⚾ “It’s been a blessing,” Weston Wilson said about his call up to the Phillies.
“I had a couple hiccups along the way where I thought I might get an opportunity back with Milwaukee. Things didn’t fall my way. But I couldn’t be happier than to be here now in the big leagues with the Phillies.”
Tough when he batted .375 with a 1.038 OPS in the Arizona Fall League in 2018 and didn’t even get an invitation to big league camp the following year.Tough when he had to sit out the entire 2020 season due to Covid shutting down the minor leagues, delivering food for Postmates and giving hitting lessons to help make ends meet.
Tough when all that hard work led to hitting .267 with 16 homers and a .902 OPS in 70 games for Triple-A Nashville. . .only to have his season ended by a blood clot in his shoulder.“Coming back last year, I put a lot of pressure on myself to repeat that. And just wasn’t myself,” he said. Not just cool but productive, as it turned out. Wilson was batting .260 with 25 homers, 69 RBI and an .884 OPS in 100 games when he was informed late Sunday morning that his dream had finally come true. His wife, Madison, helped him pack his stuff and they made the drive down the Northeast Extension.
