Happy Independence Day, and fittingly, three American top prospects for today’s pickups,
including a potential superstar I’ve written about in the past.

James Wood, OF, 32% rostered on ESPN
James Wood may have the highest offensive ceiling of any prospect in the sport, and his call up to the Nationals should make him rostered in every format. Wood is a five-tool star with generational power and speed, apparent from some of the early Statcast readings from his first
three games, hitting multiple balls over 110 mph, and clocking sprint speeds above 30 ft/s. While he hasn’t lifted the ball yet, expect serious damage when he does; Wood has the potential to hit 15+ HR and steal 25+ bases in what remains of the season. 100% must add.
