Why he matters right now
Bryan Woo is top-10 in the majors in WHIP
He is 9th in WHIP at 1.06 — placements on MLB's own season boards, which rank every QUALIFIED pitcher in the sport rather than the few dozen this site tracks. Qualified is MLB's own bar, and it is the reason a part-season player with a big number is not on these boards at all.
New on this page tonight.
The case in 30 seconds
- 1.06 9th in WHIP at 1.06 on MLB's season leaderboards MLB season leaderboard (the league's own top-10 board of qualified players, not this site's roster)
- 4.03 ERA over 156 innings, with 158 strikeouts, 27 starts and a 1.06 WHIP snapshot pitching board — the union of MLB's top-10 pitching boards, then MLB's 1.0 IP per team game rule applied; not the league's full qualified pool
The honest caveat
A top-ten finish is a position on a board, not a verdict on a player. The men just below him on it are not meaningfully worse, and one good week moves several places.
What to watch next
Next up: vs Texas Rangers.
