PROSPECT: Bryan Woo, SP, Seattle Mariners
ANALYSIS: Drafted due to an elite fastball, per analytics, Woo was picked in the sixth round by the Mariners in 2021 out of Cal Poly. There was an extreme risk due to his strength really being one pitch.
Woo's dominant fastball allowed him to put up elite strikeout numbers last season, posting 84 strikeouts over 57 innings. He then turned plenty of heads with a dominant showing at the Arizona Fall League in 10 2/3 innings.
The secondary offerings have always been key for the righty, and the slider has begun to come around with his changeup still trailing significantly behind. He's also done a notably better job of locating pitches this year, leading to a 1.85 ERA and 49/7 K/BB ratio in 34 innings at Double-A.
VERDICT: Woo still has notable reliever risk, but if he moves to the bullpen, he'd be a potential backend reliever. He should absolutely be rostered in deep dynasty leagues, and he will likely be one of the best arms available in shallow leagues, especially as he's already succeeding in the upper minors.
