WASHINGTON – Cody Wilson, an outfielder, made his Major League debut with the Nationals on April 7 while right-handed pitcher Joan Adon – in a more impressive entrance – started for Washington and pitched well on Sunday in his first big league game.
Wilson, 25, born in West Palm Beach, Florida, on July 4, 1996, played for Winchester in the Valley Baseball League of Virginia while in college at Florida Atlantic, while Adon, 23, is another Washington player from the Dominican Republic.
In between those disparate appearances – Wilson was retired in his only at-bat in The Show to this point – several other players made their Major League debut this past season while wearing the Washington uniform.
