Gage Wood, the Philadelphia Phillies’ No. 4 prospect, delivered another solid performance on Apr. 15 for Single-A Clearwater, maintaining his early season trend of limiting opposing hitters to two or fewer hits per outing.
Wood pitched four scoreless innings against Dunedin at TD Ballpark, striking out four batters while allowing one hit and three walks. Despite his efforts, the Threshers fell to Dunedin with a final score of 5-4.
In his first 11 and one-third professional innings since being selected as the Phillies’ first-round pick in the 2025 Draft, Wood has recorded 19 strikeouts and allowed just one run on four hits and five walks, resulting in an earned run average of 0.79. During his third start of the season, he relied heavily on his fastball—which averaged nearly 96 miles per hour—and showed improvement with both his slider and changeup pitches.
Wood’s development comes after making history last year for Arkansas by throwing a no-hitter in the Men’s College World Series—the first such feat in over six decades—boosting his draft profile.
