Throughout his time in the major leagues, Wilkinson recorded 3 hits and 1 run batted in, finishing with a batting average of .231. Although he did not hit any home runs and did not steal any bases, his contributions on the field were part of the rich tapestry of early 20th-century baseball. His career, though limited in games played, reflects the experiences of many players of that era who navigated the competitive landscape of the sport. Wilkinson's time in baseball, albeit fleeting, remains a part of the historical narrative of the game.
