Wood went 3-for-3 with a walk and a double in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies.

The rest of the Nationals' offense couldn't take advantage of the rookie's performance, but Wood continues to shine brighter as he grows more comfortable in the majors. Over his last 15 games, the 21-year-old is slashing an eye-popping .382/.460/.618 with 12 runs, 11 RBI and seven extra-base hits, including two homers. His 4-for-8 showing on the basepaths during that stretch highlights that he still has some rough edges to his skill set, but Wood looks as though he will live up to his billing as Washington's next franchise player.
