Peyton Wilson
Former Alabama standout Peyton Wilson slammed a home run into the corn beyond the left-field fence on Tuesday night in the first minor-league baseball game played on the diamond at the “Field of Dreams” movie site. Playing center field and batting second in the order for Quad Cities, Wilson hit a third-inning, solo homer off Cedar Rapids left-hander Aaron Rozek that gave the River Bandits a three-run lead on their way to a 7-2 victory over the Kernels in a High-A Midwest League game.
Wilson played at Alabama in 2020 and 2021 after earning All-State recognition at Hoover High School in 2019. Wilson left the Crimson Tide as a second-round draft pick of the Kansas City Royals in 2021. In his second pro season, Wilson entered Tuesday night’s game hitting .252 with six home runs and 10 stolen bases while playing second base and center field in 60 games for the Royals’ High-A affiliate. - al.com
Had to scroll through his social media to find decent pics. Best I can do on him for now.
