Brandon Woodruff News
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff was outstanding Wednesday night, striking out 10 batters over six shutout innings to lead the team to a 5-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Woodruff allowed five hits and one walk and was credited with his 13th win of the year. This outing lowers Woodruff's ERA and WHIP to 3.05 and 1.09 with 183 strikeouts in 147 1/3 innings across 26 starts. He also has five straight quality starts, with double-digit strikeouts in each of his last four.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff was superb on Saturday, striking out 10 batters in his club's 4-1 victory over the Yankees. His only blemish on the night came off a Josh Donaldson solo homer in the fourth as he gave up five hits and one walk over eight frames of work. After a rough start to the season, Woodruff has been in All-Star form since his return from the IL on June 28 by owning a crisp 2.55 ERA through the 15-start span. For the season, he's now 11-4 with a 3.26 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 162 K through 135 1/3 IP as he looks ahead to his next matchup versus the Reds.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff struck out 10 batters on Saturday during his team's 7-0 win over the Cubs, although he had to settle for a no-decision. The right-hander was excellent by allowing just four hits and a walk over six-shutout frames, but his offense wasn't able to put up any runs until the late innings of the ball game. Woodruff got off to a slow start this season, but since returning from the injured list in late-June, he's posted a 2.35 ERA with a 79/19 K/BB over 65 IP. Woodruff should continue to put up stellar numbers the rest of the way as he'll look to get win number 10 next weekend in Arizona.

Brandon Woodruff didn't post a winning record for the Brewers in 2020 (3-5), but he did everything else fantasy managers look for. His 3.05 ERA and 3.29 xFIP over 73 2/3 IP were great for fantasy managers looking for ratio help. He also posted a K% above 30 for the first time in his career at 31.1, and his spin rate appears to be the reason why. Woodruff averaged 2,257 RPM on his four-seamer in 2019, leading to good but not great numbers (11.9 SwStr%, 60.3 Zone%). He upped his spin rate to 2,457 RPM last season, transforming it into one of the best heaters in the game (17.5 SwStr%, 62.7 Zone%). Furthermore, Woodruff held opponents to a .269 BABIP thanks to an IFFB% spike (5% in '19, 17.2% last season) that also seems connected to his spin rate. His fastball's IFFB% didn't change that much year-over-year (28.1% vs. 32%), but its FB% skyrocketed (31.7% to 46.3%). He also mixed in more sinkers, potentially helping his fastball play up. Woodrow's secondaries include a slider (17.6 SwStr%, 38.9 Zone%, 33.8% chase rate) and a changeup (15 SwStr%, 39.9 Zone%, 35.9% chase), both of which are more good than great. Therefore, Woodrow will need to retain his improved spin rate to earn his current ADP of 38.61.
