James Wood Shines in Nationals' Rout of Orioles
by Emily Maingi | Nationals Correspondent | Wed, Aug 14th 11:54am EDT
James Wood went 4-for-5 with a double and three runs scored in the Nationals' 9-3 victory over the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance continues a solid rookie campaign for Wood, who has maintained a .283 batting average through 37 games. His ability to hit for both power and average was on display, boosting his season totals to 39 hits and 26 RBI. While he didn't add to his home run or stolen base totals in this game, his consistent contact and scoring ability are positive signs. Fantasy managers should note his high BABIP (.407), which suggests some regression might be on the horizon, but his overall production makes him a valuable asset in most formats.
