PERFECTION SHATTERED: Jacob Wilson's 112-Game Errorless Streak Ends With One Bad Throw

112 games. Zero errors. One bad throw.

That's all it took to end one of the most ridiculous defensive runs in MLB history. Jacob Wilson, the A's human vacuum cleaner at shortstop, finally blinked Tuesday night.

With his club already staring at a 9-2 deficit in the eighth inning, Wilson tried to make a play at second base. It didn't work. His throw sailed wide of Donovan Walton, the Rays plated three more runs, and the A's limped to a 12-4 loss in West Sacramento.

A streak for the ages

The error snapped a 112-game errorless streak at shortstop — a major league record. Wilson, 24, had just taken sole possession of the mark Sunday, passing Mike Bordick's previous record of 110 games.

It was his first error since July 6, 2025, and just the ninth of his career across 231 big league games. Let that sink in: nine errors in 231 games.

It runs in the blood

This kind of defensive dominance isn't an accident. Wilson's father, Jack Wilson, spent 12 years in the majors doing the exact same job at shortstop. The apple didn't just fall close to the tree — it planted itself at shortstop and refused to move.

The streak is over, but the standard remains. Wilson has already proven he's the most reliable defender at the position in baseball. One errant throw doesn't change that.

Now the question is simple: can he start another run?
