Woodruff tossed six scoreless innings in a start with Triple-A Colorado Springs on Sunday; he now owns a 1.83 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 30:7 K:BB through his first six starts at the Triple-A level.
The thin air in Colorado Springs has wreaked havoc on Brewers pitching prospects from time to time, but that cannot be said so far for Woodruff, as four of his six starts have come at home. Woodruff broke out last season and was named the Brewers' minor league pitcher of the year, and his success has carried over to 2017 despite the change in environment and competition. While Woodruff has just reached the Triple-A level for the first time, he could push to make his MLB debut later this season if he keeps pitching like this.
