2023 Fantasy Outlook
Woodruff put up a second consecutive season of ace level performance, but left us wanting more as fantasy managers. Woodruff had the 8th-best K-BB%, 4th best strikeout rate and 20th best WHIP amongst starting pitchers with at least 150 innings of work in 2022. Yet, he finished outside the top 20 in both ERA and wins and missed time in the summer after being diagnosed with Raynaud's syndrome, a circulatory condition which causes numbness in the extremities due to reduced blood flow. That particular issue caused him to have trouble with his grip on his breaking pitches which led to a near 50-point jump in the league-wide batting average against his spinners. It is also worth noting that Woodruff has just once pitched more than 160 innings in a season or made 30 starts over the past three full seasons. The metrics and StatCast data scream ace, but the outcomes leave us wanting a bit more. Read Past Outlooks

Held back due to wet conditions
Woodruff won't make his scheduled start during Wednesday's Cactus League game versus the Diamondbacks due to wet field conditions, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
There's a good chance the game will be rained out anyhow, but either way, Woodruff will get his work in on the side. If the contest is played, Matt Bush will serve as an opener and be followed by Gus Varland and Hoby Milner.

The kids will tell us IYKYK, and if you had Woodruff on your team last season, you know where this is going. Milwaukee won 16 of the 30 games Woodruff started, yet Woodruff won just nine games because he had the absolute worst run support in the National League with just 2.5 runs scored when he was pitching. Two-thirds of his starts were quality starts, yet fewer than one-third of them became wins. That is just rotten luck for a pitcher who went into the Milwaukee pitching laboratory and has turned himself into one of the better pitchers in the game. He now has three consecutive seasons of impressive three-category production with the wins being at the mercy of the offense. Hopefully the Brew Crew will supply Woodruff with more run support to turn him into the ace pitcher he is shaping out to be. If they do, perhaps the Cy Young Award can even stay in Milwaukee, because Woodruff has all the tools to make it happen.
