While the fans may have robbed James Wood from being an All-Star starter, they are going watch him showcase his prodigious power. Wood announced that he will be competing in the Home Run Derby this year.
This is something Nationals fans have wanted for a while now. In May, we wrote about how Wood needs to be in the Derby. He has the kind of jaw dropping power to put on a show. Wood has hit some of the craziest home runs I have ever seen, particularly to the opposite field. His homer in April against the Marlins left the announcers speechless.
