Leonardo Ramos wasn’t the only “breakout” for Omaha in 2055.

Robert Wilson, who was acquired from Atlantic City just days after the 2055 season began, had what you could call a breakout. Prior to this season, Wilson had one season where he had been called upon to start. That was the 2054 campaign with Atlantic City. He had a tough time, pitching to a 6.06 ERA through 27 starts.

Fast-forward to 2055.

Robert Wilson started 23 games for Omaha, accumulating a 2.69 ERA as a starter over 144 innings pitched. In a complete reverse, He actually struggled more in the bullpen, with a 4.18 ERA in 23 innings (16 appearances).

Wilson attributes the success to pitching coach Stafford Carter, who has been with Omaha since the 2052 season.

“Stafford pointed out a few things with my delivery, and it’s amazing how a minor detail can make such a huge difference on the mound” said Wilson.

“We’re counting on Robert again this season as believe it or not he is a veteran on our pitching staff with just one guy older than him currently on our staff.” Said Omaha GM Justin Niles.
