Wilkerson takes over for veteran coach and former Yankees prospect Hensley “Bam-Bam” Muelens, who left to become the Rockies’ hitting coach. He was an assistant at Jacksonville University prior to the Yankees hiring him.
Wilkerson also spent eight years in MLB playing outfield for the Expos/Nationals, Rangers, Mariners, and Blue Jays.
