  • Summary

  • James Wood, a 22-year-old outfielder, was acquired by the Nationals in a high-profile trade from the Padres in August 2022. After making his MLB debut on July 1, 2024, he showcased potential with a solid performance, registering a .264 batting average and notable on-base and slugging percentages. Despite a challenging stretch early in his season, Wood rebounded to demonstrate impressive plate discipline and power, highlighted by an OPS of .862 in his final games. Moving forward, he shows immense offensive potential, particularly with a high exit velocity and low chase rate, although he can improve by being more aggressive at the plate and enhancing his defensive skills, especially in left field. With guidance from manager Davey Martinez, who sees him as a potential superstar, the focus will be on achieving consistency and refining his approach as he continues to develop in his young career.
