Yardbarker on MSNJames Wood, Nationals aim for fences against MarinersJames Wood has played less than a full season in the major leagues, but he has already shown he can hit the ball hard and far. Wood belted his second tape-measure home run in as many nights as the Washington Nationals defeated the host Seattle Mariners 9-0 Wednesday.
The 22-year-old took Kyle Harrison deep in the first inning, and it turned out to be all the offense the Nats would need. Wood continues to march toward a breakout campaign, slashing .284/.380/.543 through 52 games with 13 homers, seven steals, 33 runs and 35 RBI.
Nationals outfielder James Wood has a gift, and it’s already turned him into a terrifying major league hitter.
