Late May to midJune. Give him more at bats against lhp & decrease Ks, raise average.
6 (37.5%)
The Lerner answer - manage to avoid super 2, & make sure he's not a likely '24 RotY when he's up
1 (6.3%)
Well, if RotY is something to go for, 8/20, when he'll be eligible for rookier status in 2025

Baseball America lists Wood as its number 3 Hot Prospect today.

Why He’s Here: .385/.484/.731 (10-for-26), 10 R, 3 2B, 0 3B, 2 HR, 4 RBIs, 5 BB, 6 SO, 4-for-5 SB

The Scoop: There’s not much more Wood can do at this point to prove he’s worthy of a callup to the major leagues. Wood had three multi-hit games last week in Rochester’s series at Buffalo. Wood went off on Thursday, going 4-for-5 with two home runs and four balls in play at 106.8 mph or higher. He has double-plus power, on-base skills and is showing improved contact skills dating back to his time with the major league club in spring training. Wood is one of the top prospects in baseball and arguably the most exciting player with an imminent callup in 2024.
