James Wood, a 22-year-old slugger for the Washington Nationals, has announced his participation in the Home Run Derby scheduled for July 14 in Atlanta. With 22 home runs, he ranks seventh in MLB, showing impressive power with four home runs exceeding 445 feet. Wood's performance includes a remarkable ability to hit home runs to all fields. Known for his swing and raw power, he could become the youngest winner of the Derby, following Nationals champions like Juan Soto and Bryce Harper. Currently, few names have been announced for the Derby, adding to the anticipation.
James Wood announced via Instagram that he will participate in the Home Run Derby, set for July 14 in Atlanta. His 22 home runs rank seventh in MLB.
Wood's swing and youthful muscles create a blend of power and skill that should generate plenty of home runs at Truist Park. He leads MLB with four home runs over 445 feet.
Wood would be the youngest-ever Derby champion if he wins. He joins Cal Raleigh and Ronald Acuña Jr. as stated participants, with the full field yet to be announced.
The Los Angeles Angels intentionally walked Wood four times during his last road trip, marking the first time since Barry Bonds in 2004 that a player received that many free passes.
