Bryan Woo DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo tallied six punchouts across 2 1/3 innings of work on Thursday. Woo allowed just one hit and served up one free pass. This is a great sign for the 25-year-old, as an increase in strikeout production could increase his fantasy value significantly. Last season, Woo logged a career-high 121 1/3 innings to the tune of a strong 2.89 ERA and a stellar 0.90 WHIP. He tallied just 101 punchouts but only served up walks at a near-perfect 2.8 percent rate. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his production during camp, as the 25-year-old could be taking his strikeout production to the next level. Woo is an intriguing pick in the middle rounds of drafts and he should significantly improve your WHIP ratio with his strong control and could carry increasing strikeout upside.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo had another excellent start on Sunday, pitching seven innings of one-run ball against the San Francisco Giants. Woo allowed just four hits and didn't walk a batter in this one. He also collected seven strikeouts and generated 16 whiffs, 12 of which came on his fastball. When he's been healthy, Woo has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this year, pitching to a stellar 2.05 ERA and 0.81 WHIP. While those ratios will likely increase, Woo should be able to maintain very good numbers based on his ability to generate weak contact. He is a must-start pitcher in fantasy.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo turned in a solid start on Thursday, allowing three runs over 6 IP against the Detroit Tigers. Woo allowed five hits and walked one while striking out a season-high seven. It was an encouraging start for Woo, who generated eight whiffs on his fastball and a 32% CSW overall. The 24-year-old has been rock solid when healthy this year, pitching to a 2.27 ERA and 0.88 WHIP. The problem has been the health, as he's had multiple injuries that keep popping up from start to start, making him hard to trust in fantasy. Still, if he can continue performing like he has in his past two starts, he will quickly become a good option.
