2023 Fantasy Outlook
Richardson had a 5.76 ERA with a troubling 5.2 BB/9 at Double-A New Hampshire before his trade to Minnesota from Toronto in 2021 as part of the Jose Berrios deal.. He threw just eight innings at Double-A after the trade as he spent time on the U.S. Olympic team. With a full season in the Minnesota organization, he bounced back to show he's a potential back end major league rotation arm. Woods Richardson made a strong impression at Double-A with a 3.06 ERA and 9.81 K/9 in 16 games and then had a 2.21 ERA with a 9.3 K/9 in seven Triple-A starts. He got one late-season start in the majors as a result (3 ER in 5 IP). Woods Richardson doesn't have great velocity (low-to-mid 90s fastball) but has three quality off-speed pitches and good control (3.1 BB/9 across all three levels last season). He'll compete for a rotation spot this spring, but may spend much of the season at Triple-A before getting another shot. Read Past Outlooks

Sent out after 2023 debut
The Twins optioned Woods Richardson to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
After starter Kenta Maeda lasted just two innings in Friday's 3-2 loss to Washington in the series opener while battling an ankle injury, the Twins summoned Woods Richardson from Triple-A on Saturday to give a fresh arm to an overtaxed bullpen. The 22-year-old right-hander ended up serving as an innings eater in relief in the Twins' 10-4 loss Saturday, covering 4.2 frames and striking out five but giving up five earned runs on seven hits and three walks. Woods Richardson will head back to St. Paul a day later with the Twins needing to open up a roster spot for Sunday's starter, Bailey Ober, who was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Woods Richardson turned 20 in September, yet he could debut in the majors in 2021 even after the pandemic prevented him from having a normal age-19 season. Advanced beyond his years, Woods Richardson projects to have plus command/control and already throws four pitches, three of which are at least above-average offerings. The top returning piece from the Mets in the 2019 deadline deal that sent Marcus Stroman to New York, Woods Richardson spent the summer at the alternate training site, where he refined his stuff, including cementing his changeup as a future plus pitch. His low-to-mid-90s fastball has riding life that allows it to play as a plus pitch up in the zone. It is unclear how his time will be split this season between Double-A, Triple-A and the majors, but if he stays healthy and continues to pound the zone, Woods Richardson will be on the fast track to the show.
