Orioles infielder Stevie Wilkerson pulls off HISTORIC save


Wilkerson becomes first position player to ever record a save



I think 55 was his fastest pitch.  Maybe the Angels need 12-year-olds to throw batting practice. One site said he never threw a ball faster than a semi-truck on a freeway.

The biggest thing is Stevie Wilkerson became the first position player to get a save in Major League Baseball. He faced 3 batters in the bottom of the 16th inning and got a deep fly ball for an out, a ground out, and a shallow fly out.  It was Wilkerson's third appearance this month, where he gave up one run.  Not bad for a centerfielder.
