NBC Peacock's "Road to the Show" is now available to watch on MLB.com. The five-episode series brings viewers behind the scenes with six of baseball's top prospects and their path toward the big leagues.
Gage Wood gained notoriety at the end of his junior season at Arkansas when he threw the third no-hitter in Men's College World Series history. After the Phillies drafted him in the first round of the 2025 Draft, he was bound to have one of the more intriguing 2026 campaigns in his class.
The 6-foot right-hander lived up to the hype and then some as he struck out 139 batters across 95 innings. He worked his way onto the Top 100 Prospects list and ended the campaign at Double-A as MLB's No. 30 prospect.

Wood's season was captured as part of NBC Peacock's "Road to the Show" five-part series, which includes Jesús Made (MIL No. 1/MLB No. 1), Ethan Holliday (COL No. 1/MLB No. 23) and Braden Montgomery (CWS), as well as 2026 No. 1 overall Draft pick Roch Cholowsky (CWS No. 1/MLB No. 14) and 18th overall pick Justin Lebron (CIN No. 3).
The five episodes take each player through their different parts of the season, on and off the field, to see what goes into making a top prospect successful.
Wood is well known for his 70-grade fastball and impressive control, but he also stands out for his fiery personality. The series gives insight into his competitiveness, with interview his managers, front office members and his parents, who traveled to see him in college and throughout the Minor Leagues. Wood is thankful for the sacrifices they made to help him reach this point, and they shared how proud they are of his work ethic.
The Arkansas native's first full season had plenty of big moments, including a promotion straight from Single-A to Double-A. He also earned a start in the All-Star Futures Game, which took place in Philadelphia -- Phillies legend Shane Victorino shared the news with him.
Wood opened up as he shared his daily routines and favorite ways to spend time off the field. Fellow Razorback Cayden Wallace chimed in as well to discuss facing him for the first time in the Eastern League -- and what makes him so difficult to face.
