Stevie Wilkerson put together the most memorable season of any Oriole

Could the season that Stevie Wilkerson had in 2019 have occurred on any other team besides the rebuilding Orioles? No way.

Wilkerson, an infielder by trade, spent nearly 750 innings in the O’s outfield this season. Much of that time (524 innings) was dedicated to center field, a position that Wilkerson himself said he never played in his life prior to this year. He also saw some time in both left (161 innings) and right fields (63 innings) throughout the season.

Not only did Wilkerson play the outfield, but he also may have made the best catch of the Orioles entire season when he robbed the Red Sox’s Jackie Bradley Jr.
