There haven’t been very many bright sports for the Washington Nationals over the first several months of the 2025 season, but one of the few has been the blossoming of rookie outfielder James Wood into a bonafide star. After a solid showing over the second half of 2024, Wood has absolutely exploded over the first half of the new season. At just 22 years old, Wood has already become the new driving force for the Nationals at the plate, and he’s also quickly becoming a hitter that even the most seasoned of pitchers have learned to fear. This was perfectly illustrated on Sunday evening against the Los Angeles Angels, as Wood became the first hitter since the legendary Barry Bonds to be intentionally walked four times in one ball game.
