Just how high is James Wood’s ceiling

James Wood is the crown jewel of the Nationals rebuild. He has the potential to be one of the best hitters in baseball. His combination of size, power, and plate discipline is a sight to behold. While he had an impressive rookie season, the 22 year old is still scratching the surface of his abilities.

James Wood is already a good hitter. He posted a 120 wRC+, and had a solid .781 OPS. However, there is still so much obvious room for improvement for Wood. He only hit 9 home runs in about half a season of action.
