Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson sets MLB record by going 111 straight games without an error
Jacob Wilson, the Athletics' shortstop, has broken the MLB record for consecutive games played without committing an error. The 24-year-old achieved this feat by playing his 111th errorless game at shortstop for the Athletics, surpassing the previous record set by Mike Bordick of the Baltimore Orioles, who went 110 games without an error in 2002.
Wilson last made an error on July 6, 2025, during a game against the San Francisco Giants. His father, a former major league shortstop, instilled in him the importance of defense, emphasizing that it should always come before hitting. Wilson dedicates significant time to practicing ground balls, even on days he bats, to stay sharp and maintain his error-free streak.
On the day of his record-setting performance, he recorded five plays in the field, showcasing the fruits of his labor and dedication to his position.
