Some guys are just different.
Baseball players, for as scrupulous as we dissect them, aren’t too dissimilar. They’re gritty and superstitious. They can be loud and loquacious. Hell, most of them all look the same too, coming in around 6-foot-1, weighing close to 190 pounds, maybe a hair less.
That’s not James Wood.
Sometimes guys leave a bigger fingerprint on a box score than their stat line.
At 6-foot-6, 230 pounds, Wood is quite possibly the most imposing figure in the 2021 MLB Draft talent pool. He’s barely 18 and already doing things on the diamond other guys simply aren’t capable of.
