Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
The A’s season has turned into a nightmare, but rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson continues to be a dream coming true. Jacob’s stellar numbers for May include a .368 batting average, the best mark in MLB for the month. Unsurprisingly, this earned AL Rookie of the Month honors for Wilson, currently a strong ROY favorite.
