Wilson played 10 seasons for Pittsburgh after an acquisition from the St. Louis Cardinals in 2000. During his tenure, he earned a reputation for defensive play, leading MLB in double plays and defensive metrics in the mid-2000s. He recorded 1,158 hits and 1,128 games at shortstop for the club. Wilson will be inducted alongside left-handers Wilbur Cooper and John Candelaria.
