James Wood is on pace to score 150 runs this year 😳 He'd be the first to score 150+ runs since Jeff Bagwell in 2000! ht Via @MLB on X

What happened: James Wood's current run-scoring pace projects to 150 for the season. The last player to reach that mark was Jeff Bagwell in 2000.

Why it matters: No hitter has crossed 150 runs in a season in 26 years, making Wood's pace a historic outlier if it holds. A 150-run season would place him among the sport's most productive table-setters in the modern era.

What to watch: Watch whether Wood's pace holds as the Nationals play deeper into the schedule.
