James Wood of the Nationals just finished his first MLB plate appearance. He did not chase anything bad, worked the count 3-2, and then went with a pitch down, grounding it hard the other way for a single. It was a good PA with a good result.

This is the first time I saw him and was impressed by his height. He’s listed as 6′ 7″, but he looks taller. He was .300/.400/.500 player in the minors, which is pretty good for a seasonal age 21 player.

The Mets and Nationals are scoreless going to the bottom of the third inning.
