James Wood's top moments on path to The Show

The Padres drafted Wood 62nd overall in 2021 and signed him for $2.6 million, the 28th-largest bonus in his class

Wood did not take long to make an impact in Single-A -- he homered twice in his first game with Lake Elsinore and slashed .337/.453/.601 in 50 games

The Nationals acquired Wood on Aug. 2, 2022, as part of an eight-player trade for Juan Soto and Josh Bell

After the trade, Wood collected 10 XBH in 21 games for Single-A Fredericksburg and slashed .293/.366/.463

Wood began 2023 at High-A Wilmington and showed off his 70-grade power and 60-grade speed with 8 homers, 8 steals and 5 triples in 42 games

The Nats promoted Wood to Double-A Harrisburg on May 28, 2023, where he hit 18 homers in 87 games despite being nearly four years younger than the average player in the Eastern League

Wood made the All-Star Futures Game in 2023 and went 0-for-1 with a walk while starting in right field

The Nationals' reigning Minor League Hitter of the Year, Wood earned an invite to big league Spring Training and racked up a 1.213 OPS in 44 ABs

Wood's first two homers with Triple-A Rochester came on the same day -- totaling 823 feet

Wood has mostly split his time in Triple-A between CF and LF, where he shows off his 55-grade field and arm tools

Wood went deep twice again on May 11, 2024, including his longest (443 feet) and hardest-hit (111.7 mph) Triple-A HR

The Nationals are expected to call Wood up for his Major League debut on July 1
