Willie Shawn Lamont Calhoun (born November 4, 1994) is an American professional baseball left fielder who is a free agent. He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Texas Rangers, San Francisco Giants, New York Yankees, and Los Angeles Angels.

Calhoun played college baseball at the University of Arizona and Yavapai College. The Los Angeles Dodgers selected Calhoun in the fourth round of the 2015 MLB draft. He made his MLB debut with the Rangers in 2017, and played with them until 2022, when he was traded to the Giants.

Early life

Calhoun is named after his father, a corrections officer at San Quentin State Prison.[1][2] His mother is Monica.[3] He has a younger sister and a younger brother.[4]

High school

Calhoun attended Benicia High School in Benicia, California, where in three years of baseball as an infielder he batted .435/.513/.736 with 11 home runs and 82 runs batted in (RBIs) in 262 at bats.[5] He was named 2012 and 2013 Sac Joaquin All-Section, named a top-150 national prospect by Perfect Game, 2013 third team Rawlings/Perfect Game Preseason All-America, Rawlings/Perfect Game California Region First Team, Solano County Athletic Conference co-MVP, and to the New Balance All-Area Code team.[4]

The Tampa Bay Rays selected him in the 17th round of the 2013 Major League Baseball draft,[6] but he did not sign with the Rays. Instead, Calhoun honored his commitment to play college baseball for the Arizona Wildcats.[3]

College

Calhoun struggled in his lone season at the University of Arizona, batted .247/.345/.301 in 146 at bats playing third base, lost his spot on the team, and considered quitting the sport altogether.[1][2] In 2014, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[7]

In 2015, he transferred to Yavapai College, a community college.[1][8] With them, he batted .432/.520/.952 with 31 home runs and 85 RBIs in 227 at bats.[9] His 31 home runs were the most by a junior college player since Bryce Harper also hit 31, at the College of Southern Nevada in 2010.[1] Calhoun signed with Kansas State University out of junior college.[8]

Professional career

Los Angeles Dodgers

Calhoun with the Tulsa Drillers in 2016.

The Los Angeles Dodgers selected Calhoun in the fourth round of the 2015 MLB draft.[10] He signed with the Dodgers for a signing bonus above $340,000, rather than transfer to Kansas State, and made his professional debut with the Ogden Raptors (with whom he was a Pioneer League mid-season All Star) and was later promoted to the Great Lakes Loons and Rancho Cucamonga Quakes.[11][12][13] In 73 games between the three levels, he hit .316/.390/.519 with 11 home runs and 47 RBIs, as he played second base.[14]

To start the 2016 season, Calhoun was promoted to the Double-A Tulsa Drillers of the Texas League.[15] He was selected as a starter for the mid-season Texas League All-Star game, and was also named a Texas League post-season All Star,[11][16][17] and selected to the U.S. team for the All-Star Futures Game.[18] In 503 at bats over 132 games for the Drillers, he hit .255/.318/.469 with 75 runs (2nd in the Texas League), 27 homers (2nd), 45 walks (8th), and 88 RBIs (1st).[14] At the conclusion of the season, he was also named to the post-season all-star team, and an MiLB.com Organizational All-Star.[19][20] After the season, the Dodgers assigned Calhoun to the Glendale Desert Dogs of the Arizona Fall League. He earned MVP honors in the Fall Stars Game for top prospects playing in the league when he went 3-for-3 with a homer in the game.[21][22]

Calhoun was promoted to the Triple-A Oklahoma City Dodgers to begin the 2017 season[23][24][21] and played well enough to be named the second baseman for the Pacific Coast League mid-season and post-season all-star teams.[25][26] In 2017 with the team he batted .298/.358/.574.

Texas Rangers

2017–18

On July 31, 2017, the Dodgers traded Calhoun, A. J. Alexy, and Brendon Davis to the Texas Rangers for Yu Darvish.[27][28] With the Triple-A Round Rock Express he batted .310/.345/.566. Between the two teams in the Pacific Coast League (PCL), where he entered the season as the 9th-youngest player. Calhoun batted .300/.355/.572 with 80 runs (7th in the league), 31 home runs (2nd), and 93 RBIs (2nd) in 486 at bats, and was the 9th-toughest batter to strike out, averaging a strikeout every 8.0 at bats.[29][30] He was named to the PCL Postseason All-Star Team, the Yahoo! Sports All-Minor League Team, and Baseball America's Minor League All-Star Second Team.[30]

The Rangers promoted Calhoun to the major leagues for the first time on September 12, 2017.[31] Calhoun hit .265/.324/.353 with a home run and four RBIs for the Rangers in 13 games in 2017, playing 11 games in left field, one at DH, and one as a pinch hitter.[32] Going into the 2018 season, he was rated the No. 36 prospect in baseball by Baseball America, No. 43 by Baseball Prospectus, and No. 53 by Major League Baseball.[33] In 2018, Calhoun hit .222/.269/.333 with two home runs and 11 RBIs in 35 major league games, playing 26 games in left field, nine as a pinch hitter, and one as a DH.[34] In 108 games with Round Rock, he hit .294/.351/.431 with nine home runs and 47 RBIs.[14]

2019

Calhoun came to 2019 spring training having lost 25 pounds (11 kg).[1] The Rangers optioned Calhoun to the Triple-A Nashville Sounds to open the season.[35] On May 15, he was recalled to replace the injured Elvis Andrus, making his season debut the same day.[36] In the midst of batting .435/.458/.739, he was placed on the 10-day IL on May 22 with a strained left quadriceps.[37] He was reactivated from the IL on June 17,[38] but was optioned back to Triple-A Nashville on July 16 after hitting .225/.267/.408 in a second stint in order to clear a spot for All-Star OF/DH Hunter Pence on the roster.[39][40] On July 25, he was recalled to replace the injured Joey Gallo,[41][42] and he played with the Rangers for the remainder of the season.
