Stevie Wilkerson

Stephen Beaty Wilkerson (born January 11, 1992) is an American former professional baseball utility player.

[1] Wilkerson graduated from Alan C. Pope High School in Marietta, Georgia, in 2010, where he had been a member of both the baseball and football teams.

Wilkerson spent 2017 with both Frederick and Bowie, batting a combined .305/.375/.423 with eight home runs and 45 RBIs in 112 total games between both clubs.

He made his major league debut on June 20, entering the game to play third base in the ninth inning.

[11][12] He returned to the Orioles' 40-man roster when his contract was selected on April 22 but was optioned back to the Tides six weeks later on June 2 after batting .235/.283/.412 with six doubles, five home runs and 14 RBIs in 35 games.

He was the starting center fielder who had tied the contest at 4–4 with a 2-out RBI ground-rule double to right field off Ty Buttrey in the eighth inning.

[17] Primarily an infielder, he was a starting outfielder in 80 games including 58 in center, a position he had never played previously in his professional career and one the Orioles had trouble filling with a reliable starter.
