Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

James Wood joined the Nationals in July 2024 and appeared in 79 games, delivering a performance that had its ups and downs. However, he showed clear progress as the season progressed, particularly in August and September. Wood finished the year with nine home runs, 14 stolen bases, 43 runs scored, and 41 RBIs while posting a respectable .264/.354/.427 slash line. Projected to be an everyday player for Washington next season, Wood has the potential to deliver a strong 20/20 campaign. His impressive Triple-A stats and Rookie of the Year upside will make him a coveted pick in drafts, likely pushing his ADP to around the fifth round.
