Preston James Richard Wilson (born July 19, 1974) is an American former professional baseball center fielder.

He played all or parts of ten seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1998 to 2007 for the New York Mets, Florida Marlins, Colorado Rockies, Washington Nationals, Houston Astros and St. Louis Cardinals.

[4] He was known to be an aggressive hitter, according to scouts and media sources, based on his propensity to swing at the first pitch and his high strikeout rates.

Wilson hit 23 home runs in each of the following two seasons, though his overall production dipped, partially due to missed games.

After the 2002 season, Wilson was involved in a six-player deal which sent him and three other players to the Colorado Rockies for Juan Pierre and Mike Hampton.

Wilson rebounded in 2003, when he set career highs with a .282 batting average, 43 doubles, and 36 home runs.

Wilson was acquired by the Washington Nationals in July 2005 for pitcher Zach Day and outfielder J. J. Davis.

In 2016, Wilson, along with Eduardo Perez and Al Leiter, served as an analyst with play-by-play man Rich Waltz.

Additionally, Wilson hosted "Marlins Clubhouse," a magazine-style TV show for Fox Sports Florida.
