Allentown, Pennsylvania (October 4, 2023) – The Lehigh Valley IronPigs, in conjunction with Minor League Baseball, are excited to announce that Weston Wilson has been named to the International League 2023 All-Star team as the shortstop.

By swatting 31 homers and swiping 32 bases, Wilson became not only the first IronPigs to ever go 20-20 in a season, he then became the first in franchise history to go 30-30. The 31 homers set the single-season franchise record, surpassing the 29 Rhys Hoskins hit in 2017 while the 32 stolen bases put Wilson in 2^nd place in single-season franchise lore. By the end of the 2023 season, Wilson had put his name all over the IronPigs record book, finishing top-5 in single-season history for the IronPigs in: homers (1^st), RBI (3^rd), runs (1^st), walks (2^nd), stolen bases (2^nd).

Amongst his peers in the International League, Wilson finished 3^rd in homers, tied-7^th in stolen bases, 6^th in runs scored, 4^th in total bases, tied-8^th in extra-base hits, 10^th in slugging percentage, and 7^th in RBI.

Wilson signed as a MiLB free agent with Philadelphia this past off-season on January 11, 2023. Wilson made his Major League debut on August 9^th, becoming the 5th Phillie to homer in his 1st career plate appearance. Wilson was named to the Phillies postseason Wild Card round roster.
