For the first time in his career, Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood has been named one of six outfield finalists for the Louisville Slugger Silver Slugger Award on Wednesday.

A 2025 All-Star and Home Run Derby participant, Wood, 23, finished the season tied for the National League lead among outfielders with 38 doubles this season. He also ranked in extra base hits (3rd, 69), home runs (T3rd, 31), RBI (4th, 94), walks (5th, 95) and hits (5th, 153).

In his first full Major League season Wood also paced the National League with 56 balls hit over 110 miles per hour, trailing only Aaron Judge in all of Major League Baseball. Wood also led all National League outfielders with 15 home runs hit over 110 mph.

The Rockville, Md., native was one of just three Major Leaguers and one of two National League outfielders with 30 home runs, 35 doubles and 15 stolen bases this season. Wood became just the second Nationals player to hit 30 home runs and steal at least 15 bases in a season, joining Alfonso Soriano in 2006.

Wood looks to become the fourth Nationals outfielder and 11th Nationals player (2005-pres.) overall to win a Silver Slugger.
