Track Record: Woodrow hit .343 as Creighton’s leadoff hitter and starting center fielder as a junior to earn a draft selection in 2016. The undersized speedster has continued to perform in pro ball. He was an All-Star at low Class A in 2017 and Double-A in 2018, and capped his 2018 season with a standout showing in the Arizona Fall League.
Scouting Report: A scrappy, versatile player with double-plus speed, Woodrow’s outfield range fits well in center field as he is able to cover plenty of ground in the gaps. A below average arm will ultimately keep him out of right field long-term. Woodrow’s swing does not generate much power, profiling as below-average, but he makes solid contact up the middle from the left side and takes his walks to consistently get on base.
The Future: Woodrow will head to Triple-A in 2019. His speed and ability to get on-base should prove valuable as a backup outfielder sooner rather than later.
