James Wood previously delivered a breakout season with the Nationals, posting 3.3 WAR and a 127 wRC+ across 157 games in Washington, D.C. This season he has started even better, hitting .258/.400/.538 with a 158 wRC+ and 1.7 WAR. In a game moment, with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the second inning, Wood hit an inside-the-park grand slam. The play had him rounding the bases in 15.1 seconds. The result was a rare, high-impact scoring event early in the game.
"Strictly speaking, James Wood, 23, had his big breakout season last year with the Nats, earning 3.3 WAR and a 127 wRC+ over 157 games out in D.C. But he's off to an even better start this season, with a .258/.400/.538 (158 wRC+) slash line and 1.7 WAR already to his name."
"Tonight, with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the second inning, James Wood hit a Grand Slam ... excuse me, an INSIDE THE PARK grand slam."
