Show Notes
Matt Tugboat Wilkinson, a 23-year-old Cleveland Guardians prospect, showcased his skills in the World Baseball Classic, pitching two scoreless innings for Team Canada against the US. Despite the loss, Wilkinson stood out with no hits allowed, striking out big names like Cal Raleigh and Bryce Harper. He finished with a perfect 0.00 ERA, no hits, four strikeouts, and two walks. Wilkinson, never drafted higher than the tenth round, quickly rose through the minors, posting a 1.90 ERA in his first full pro season. Despite a slight ERA increase last year, his control shone in the Classic. Looking ahead, Wilkinson aims for Double-A ball this season, boosted by his World Baseball Classic exposure.
