Tilson, a native of Wilmette and prep star with New Trier H.S., placed a verbal commitment with the Fightin’ Illini prior to the 2011 season. However, in part due to his success in the Area Code games, where he stole seven bases in three games, the St. Louis Cardinals drafted him in the second round of that year’s MLB Draft.
His best season in the Cardinals organization may have been 2015, with AA Springfield.
