What’s impressive about Brandon Woodruff isn’t what he’s doing. It’s where he’s doing it. Woodruff has made four of his six starts in Colorado Springs at Security Service Field, a notorious hitters park. In his home starts, he owns a 1.45 ERA. He’s enjoyed more success at home in the thin air of Colorado than on the road.
Woodruff also owns a 30:7 K:BB ratio in 34 1/3 innings of work. He’s only allowed two home runs in a the hitter friendly Pacific Coast League. This is what it looks like when a prospect is telling the Major League team that he’s ready to make the jump from traveling on buses to traveling on airplanes in first class.
