Overview

• On June 29, James Wood drew four intentional walks against the Angels, becoming the first player in Nationals/Expos history and one of only six since 1955 to accomplish the feat.
• Barry Bonds was the last player to be intentionally walked four times in a single game, with his final occurrence in 2004.
• Wood’s outing also marked only the fourth time in MLB history that four different pitchers issued intentional passes in one contest.
• In his first full major league season, Wood has produced a .283/.386/.552 slash line with 22 home runs, 64 RBIs and 11 stolen bases, resulting in a .938 OPS that ranks fifth in MLB.
• Opposing teams have routinely opted to pitch around the 22-year-old breakout star, using intentional walks as a tactic to limit his impact.
