James Wood singles in first MLB at-bat, registers exit velocity of…106.7!

How much does James Wood love us at Audacy DC?

Wood recorded his first MLB hit in his first major-league at-bat Monday night, hitting a bullet past Mets third baseman Mark Vientos in the infield shift at an exit velocity of…106.7 MPH!

Wood received a standing ovation as he walked up to the plate, and after working the count full after being down x-2, the No. 1 prospect in the organization gave the fans another chance to give him a standing O with that rocket perfectly tuned to The Fan’s frequency.

Too bad it didn’t go 980 feet to really hammer home the Audacy connection, especially since some lucky (or not?) Washingtonian out for a stroll on the banks of the Anacostia would’ve gotten a ridiculous souvenir in the longest ball ever hit…alas, congrats to James Wood!
