Gage Wood Shines in Double-A

Gage Wood, the Phillies’ 22-year-old first-round pick, is blowing up in Double-A with electric stuff—14 strikeouts, just 3 earned runs in 11 innings—and could be ready for the majors sooner than expected. His fastball hits 99, he’s refining his sliders and splitters, and he’s staying aggressive against hitters who are now more selective. The front office sees him as a future ace alongside Sánchez and Wheeler, while Wood stays laser-focused on daily improvement. Next up: a home showdown against Portland—watch this one.
