James Wood had a stellar first half of the season. He was the Nationals dynamic young star and the centerpiece of the rebuild. However, he is facing his first real bump in the road this July. The big man has lost his swing mechanics and the strikeouts are really starting to pile up.
Since the All-Star break, Wood has struck out 18 times in 35 at bats, and is hitting just .114. So what is wrong with James Wood? Well right now just about everything is wrong. There is not a single pitch he is on time for.
