Fantasy Impact

This performance underscores Wood's potential as a power-speed threat, despite a season marred by high strikeout rates. His ability to contribute in multiple categories (power, average, and occasional stolen bases) makes him a valuable asset in deeper fantasy leagues. However, his high strikeout rate and modest walk rate suggest some volatility in his production. Fantasy managers should consider Wood a high-risk, high-reward option as he continues to adjust to major league pitching.
