Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood has broken out as a true star in MLB, and the Los Angeles Angels weren't willing to risk anything when he came to the plate during Sunday's game.
Despite having six plate appearances in the contest, Wood ended the game 1-for-2 with a single, a ground out, and four intentional walks. According to the Nationals, Wood becomes just the sixth player to be intentionally walked four times in a game since intentional walks became an officially tracked statistic by MLB back in 1955. In doing so, he joins some elite company: Andre Dawson, Barry Bonds, Roger Maris, Manny Ramirez and Gary Templeton.
