Wood Dominates with Mid-90s Fastball | MLB News

Gage Wood dominated on Friday night, firing a mid-90s fastball that left hitters helpless as he led Double-A Reading to a 5-2 win. In five innings, he allowed just one unearned run, struck out five—including a key one against a rehabbing MLB star, and matched his career high in innings. Efficient with 86 pitches, he held opponents hitless through three innings and posted 117 strikeouts across 81 innings this season. Promoted straight from Single-A after an explosive start (40 Ks in 26 innings), the Phillies’ top prospect is now proving his elite stuff can carry him through full games. With work still needed on his secondary pitches, Wood’s raw talent and strikeout dominance signal he’s poised to become a cornerstone of Philadelphia’s future rotation.
