Brandon Woodruff News
The Milwaukee Brewers and starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $10.8 million deal on Friday, according to a source. Woodruff continues to be one of the better pitchers in baseball after going 13-4 with a 3.05 ERA (3.08 FIP), 1.07 WHIP and 30.7 percent strikeout rate in 27 starts over 153 1/3 innings pitched last season. Injuries are a concern for the 29-year-old right-hander -- he's never topped 179 1/3 innings in his six major-league seasons -- but aside from those concerns, he's been very solid for fantasy managers. Woodruff has never had an ERA above 5.00 in any of his seasons and has only been over a 4.00 ERA once, in his rookie season in 2017.
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.

We have now seen four straight years of Woodruff turning in strikeout rates above 29% and walk rates below 7%. It's very easy to have success with a K%-BB% that high, and it's also very easy to believe he can do that again in 2023. Woodruff's ERA in 2022 checked in at 3.05 while he posted a strong 1.07 WHIP to boot. He did have some slight injury issues, reaching just 153 innings pitched last year, but he finished the year healthy and was pitching great, so we don't have much reason to be worried about health in 2023. The big righty has two great fastballs in his arsenal (a four-seamer and a sinker), and he really improved on the changeup in 2023 posting an otherworldly 28.1% SwStr% on that pitch. It seems unfair to possess all the great pitches that Woodruff possesses, and he will be just 30 years old for the 2023 season. The best part about Woodruff is, for whatever reason, he typically falls out of the first couple of rounds. He is a first-round talent that you can get in the third or maybe fourth round in your draft - take advantage!
