2025 Fantasy Outlook
Richardson had his first success in the majors last year with a revamped delivery and increased velocity but ran out of gas late in the season. The former top prospect took a big step back at Triple-A in 2023 (4.91 ERA and just a 7.6 K/9) so he worked on adjusting his arm angle from a 12 o'clock release to down a few slots. The change increased his velocity significantly (93.1 mph average fastball from 90.6 mph in 2023). While his velocity is still below average, it was finally sufficient enough at the big leagues to help his off-speed arsenal and his slider became a viable out pitch. He joined the rotation in April when a spot opened and had a 3.27 ERA through his first 17 starts with a 2.5 BB/9. He then struggled with a 5.91 ERA and 4.6 BB/9 in his last 11 starts. He'll compete for a final rotation spot this spring, but will need to limit his walks as he has little margin despite his improved fastball. Read Past Outlooks
Throws just 61 pitches in start
Woods Richardson tossed 4.2 innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Wednesday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out one batter.
ANALYSIS
Woods Richardson had control issues in the outing, throwing just 33 of 61 pitches for strikes. Still, he walked only one batter and allowed just one run through four frames. The right-hander retired the first two batters he faced in the fifth, but after Baltimore then strung together three straight hits for a run, Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli elected to pull Woods Richardson rather than give him another chance to get the final out he needed to qualify for a win. It was the second straight start in which Woods Richardson has gone exactly 4.2 frames, and he's completed fewer than five innings in three of his past four appearances, which doesn't shine a positive light on his current fantasy appeal.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2021
2020
Woods Richardson took a step backward last season at Triple-A with a 4.91 ERA and 7.6 K/9 along with an increased walk rate to 4.85 BB/9. He struggled in his one outing in the majors, giving up 5 runs in 4.2 innings. Woods Richardson doesn't have great velocity (low-to-mid 90s fastball) but has three quality off-speed pitches and displayed good control earlier in his minor league career. He's nominally in the fifth-starter competition this spring, but likely needs to prove himself again at Triple-A.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to join rotation soon?
Woods Richardson could receive a look in Minnesota's rotation soon if Louie Varland's early-season struggles continue, per Dan Hayes of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Varland has an 8.36 ERA through three starts this season, and his rotation spot could be in jeopardy if he doesn't turn things around soon. Woods Richardson was briefly called up for a spot start over the weekend and pitched well in his season debut, as he allowed one run on two hits and a walk over six innings at Detroit. If Woods Richardson is brought back up, it will be the first time he's made multiple big-league appearances in the same season.
