Wilson pitched two perfect innings against the Giants on Wednesday, striking out five of the six batters he faced.

EDGE Analysis

Sean Manaea was impressive in his six frames as a starter in the contest, and Wilson came on to relieve him in the seventh with San Francisco holding a one-run lead. Though the Padres were unable to muster a late-inning comeback, Wilson held the Giants at bay with two perfect frames during which he threw 21 of 26 pitches for strikes and fanned the final five batters to stand in against him. The impressive outing included nine swinging strikes and first-pitch strikes to five of the six hitters he faced. Wilson appears to be climbing up the bullpen pecking order thanks to a strong start to the campaign. Thus far he has racked up two wins, posted a 7:2 K:BB and allowed just one run over four innings.

Wilson (1-0) earned the win Saturday against the Diamondbacks after tossing a scoreless inning, fanning one and walking one.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson pitched the seventh inning and needed just 16 pitches to get the job done in his MLB debut. He posted a 3.43 ERA in the minors last season and is not expected to have a big role out of the bullpen, at least in the first few weeks of the season.

The Padres will include Wilson as one of 15 pitchers on their Opening Day roster.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson will reach the big leagues for the first time after he joined the Padres' 40-man roster in November. The Padres elected to protect him from the Rule 5 draft following a 2021 campaign in which he compiled a 3.43 ERA and 0.92 WHIP across 39.1 innings. He'll likely be limited to a mop-up role out of the bullpen early on this season.
