Biography

BIOGRAPHY

Aaron Wilkerson was born May 24, 1989, in Fort Worth, Texas. He is a pitcher in the MLB.

After breaking two pitching records in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Cumberland University, Wilkerson overcame Tommy John's surgery, and four independent league trades in a single season, to join the Boston Red Sox organization. The Red Sox traded him to the Brewers in 2016.

Although he features a four-pitch mix, including a curveball, slider, and changeup, Wilkerson throws the secondary pitches sparingly in comparison to his fastball, which usually sits 91–93 mph and tops out at 95 mph, according to a Red Sox scouting report.

On April 17, 2019, Wilkerson recorded his first MLB hit and home run in the same at-bat, hitting a two-run home run off Michael Wacha.
