No one can deny the star power of James Wood. He cemented himself as a top prospect in the league. After a solid debut in Washington last year, he emerged as an All-Star and Home Run Derby participant. But throughout the second half of this season, Wood hasn't carried the lineup in the way he did in the first half.
Instead, fellow outfielder Daylen Lile has risen to the occasion as the team's most consistent hitter. Despite having much less fanfare, he's been hitting at an exceptional level for the last couple months. As crazy as it might sound, it's led to fans legitimately questioning whether Lile might in fact be a better hitter than Wood.
