Wood was the Brewers 2022 fourth round pick out of Penn State and is a catcher with a relatively high floor. He should be able to stick behind the plate, and he’s a disciplined hitter with good bat control. He appears to recognize pitches well, showing the ability to square up fastballs and breaking balls, and he showed a low whiff rate in college, as well as early on in his pro career. There is some pop in the bat as well, where he is a home run threat. Defensively Wood’s a decent receiver but could use some improvement. He moves around pretty well behind the plate and uses his athleticism to his advantage. On throws, Wood gets rid of the ball quickly, helping his average arm strength play up enough to where his pop times are generally around 2.0 seconds and at times are in the low 1.9-second range. Wood is a player that could move pretty quickly through the system, due to his advanced approach and ability to stick at catcher.
