Baseball season is right around the corner, and fans will start getting their first looks at some younger prospects and recently drafted players. Philadelphia Phillies fans specifically will be chomping at the bit to see their most recent first-rounder, Gage Wood, get into action in 2026, especially after he just missed making it onto MLB Pipeline's preseason Top 100 prospect rankings.
MLB Pipeline's Ben Weinrib included Wood, the 26th overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, in his list of prospects who narrowly missed the cut but could be joining the Top 100 soon.
"[Wood] has the best shot to get there next because of his dominant stuff," Weinbrib notes.
