"On Wednesday, James Wood knocked two more home runs against the Atlanta Braves. Both of these home runs traveled over 400 feet (445 FT, 436 FT). These home runs came off of Bryce Elder, and Tyler Kinley, respectively. Interestingly enough, Wood also hit a 416-Yard shot the day before and he now has three home runs in his last two games where he had not him one since September 2nd."
"Wood's fangraphs sheet is very attractive to the eye. He is not (yet) elite status, but as a young star, he may be. Wood has a batting average of .256 with a OBP of .352 and SLG of .475 . Wood also has an elite BABIP of .350, meaning if you are pitching against him, do not let him make contact."
James Wood is a 23-year-old Nationals outfielder who reached 30 home runs and at least 15 stolen bases this season. He produced three long homers across two games against the Atlanta Braves, including shots of 445, 436 and 416 feet off Bryce Elder and Tyler Kinley. Wood posted a .256 batting average, .352 on-base percentage and .475 slugging percentage, with an elite .350 BABIP. Fangraphs assigns him a 21.6 offensive rating (27th in MLB). Defensive metrics are a weakness, with a -11.6 defensive rating prompting questions about expanded designated-hitter usage.
