Scouting Report: Jake Walsh
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
Shortstop Jacob Wilson suffered a left shoulder sprain during the Athletics' 2-1 loss to the Orioles while diving to cut off an infield single. Wilson was seen wearing a sling and will undergo imaging to determine timeline. Manager Mark Kotsay indicated Wilson will likely hit at least the 10-day IL, with season potentially in jeopardy depending on severity. This comes after Wilson signed a 7-year, $70MM extension following a strong 2025 rookie season (.311/.355/.444, 13 HR, 2nd in AL ROY voting). His 2026 numbers have declined to .292/.311/.398 with 3 HR in 168 PA, though he maintains elite contact rates and low strikeout rate (12K%).
Strengths
- Elite contact rate among MLB hitters
- Low strikeout rate (12K%) remains elite
