BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Five-Outfielder Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The No. 2 prospect in the Washington Nationals system has been tearing up Triple-A this season and is closing in on his major league debut.
James Wood has a .339/.444/.529 line with four long balls, eight stolen bases, and 14 RBI through 31 games this season. It is very promising to see Wood perform this well as he put up a much lower .248/.334/.492 line in 87 games at Double-A last year.
That swing.
105.5 mph exit velocity.

The former second-round selection has swiped double-digit bags in every season in the minor leagues and is just two away from continuing that feat this season.
Washington does have some holes in its current outfield, with Joey Gallo (shoulder) and Lane Thomas (knee) on the injured list. The Nationals may tend to be patient with promoting Wood, but the top prospect may force their hand soon enough. Wood is worth stashing in five-outfielder leagues for now.
