On Saturday afternoon, Eric Wood batted third for the Surprise Saguaros in the Arizona Fall League championship game. Just over 48 hours later, he was batting third and playing third base for Gigantes del Cibao in the Dominican. Wood went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a walk in his team's 6-5 win. On defense, he committed a fourth inning throwing error that resulted in an unearned run.
On Monday, Wood was named one of the top players available in the Rule 5 draft. MLB Pipeline also named him as a breakout prospect in the AFL, though we beat them to the punch by naming him our breakout position player for the Pirates back in September.
