## Resource

James Wood is on track for a historic season, leading MLB in runs with a potential 150 by year’s end, showcasing improved power and reduced strikeouts—but his bat has cooled slightly since the All-Star break, echoing last year’s slump. Despite that dip, his underlying stats remain elite, and his consistency—playing every game this year—speaks to his resilience. With offseason swing work and smart workload management, Wood’s team believes he’s primed to rebound and sustain his breakout performance.
