The Washington Nationals have been surprisingly competitive this year. They are close to being a .500 team, with a 38-42 record. The organization has had a tough time since winning the 2019 World Series, but now they are on the brink of contention. With the recent move they made, promoting outfielder James Wood to the majors, they have shown their willingness to compete this year.

James Wood is not only the Nationals’ best prospect, but also a top-three prospect in MLB. He possesses size, athleticism, contact, power, and the ability to learn and make adjustments. With impressive stats in the minors, Wood is expected to make a significant impact on the Nationals’ lineup.

His recent improvements and skills indicate that he has the potential to excel at the major league level. Despite facing challenges in the form of elite pitching, Wood’s talent and raw abilities suggest that he could become a star player. Keep an eye on him as he begins his MLB journey and strives to make a mark in his rookie year.
