Athletics' Jacob Wilson sets MLB record for errorless games
Summary

Jacob Wilson, shortstop for the Athletics, played his 111th consecutive errorless game on August 10 against the Red Sox, marking a new MLB record for shortstops. Wilson's defensive prowess includes making contact in over 90% of his at-bats, contributing to his reputation as a player who rarely strikes out. Drafted in 2023, Wilson has drawn comparisons to his father, former MLB player Jack Wilson. The Athletics secured his services with a seven-year, $70 million contract prior to the season. Jacob Wilson's last error occurred on July 6, 2025, and he remains focused on maintaining his health after earlier shoulder injuries.
