Dan Wilson is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on March 25, 1969 in Barrington, Barrington, United States. Daniel Allen Wilson (born March 25, 1969), is an American former professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball for the Cincinnati Reds and the Seattle Mariners, primarily as a catcher. He is regarded as one of the best defensive catchers in major-league history, setting an American League record for catchers with a .995 career fielding percentage.

In 1996, Wilson set career highs with 146 games played, 18 home runs, 83 runs batted in, and a .774 OPS. In addition, he made his only All-Star appearance. Wilson hit three home runs in an April 11, 1996 game in Detroit. The 1996 season was also his first working with starting pitcher Jamie Moyer.

Wilson was the battery-mate for Mariners pitcher Randy Johnson on June 24, 1997 when Johnson struck out 19 batters in a game against the Oakland Athletics, just one strike out less than the major league single-game strikeout record of 20 strike outs in a 9 inning game. Approximately two weeks later on August 8, 1997, the battery-mates teamed up to strike out another 19 batters in a game against the Chicago White Sox.

In 1998 Wilson hit an inside-the-park-grand slam, an unusual feat for any ballplayer, and especially for a catcher. Wilson remained a dependable battery mate for Mariners pitchers over the next several seasons. In the 2000 season, Wilson’s numbers declined to a .235 batting average and .990 fielding percentage; he was also limited to 90 games because of injuries. However, in 2001, he regained his form, playing 123 games (122 at catcher) and posting a .265 batting average and a .999 fielding percentage (one error in 744 total chances). Although it was becoming late in his career, he posted a .295 batting average in 115 games for the Mariners in 2002, and a .998 fielding percentage over 96 games in 2003. In what ended up being his last full healthy season in the majors, he batted .251 with 33 RBI in 2004.

After the 1993 season, the Reds traded Wilson to the Seattle Mariners for second baseman Bret Boone. He made the Mariners’ roster out of spring training and became an established major-league player, replacing Dave Valle as the Mariners catcher. In his first full season in the majors, he struggled at the plate, batting .216, but he showed signs of his defensive ability with a .986 fielding percentage. That turned out to be the lowest fielding percentage he would have in the years he spent as the Mariners’ primary catcher. The 1995 season went better for him; he played 119 games, batting .278 and raising his fielding percentage to .995, as the Mariners won the American League Western Division pennant.
