Amateur career


Woods attended Peabody High School in Trenton, Tennessee, where he pitched to a 12–2 record with a 0.84 ERA and 119 strikeouts as a senior in 2017.[1] After graduating, he first enrolled at the University of Tennessee at Martin before transferring to Dyersburg State Community College at the end of the fall semester. At Dyersburg State, he went 7–3 with a 3.64 ERA over 12 starts for the 2018 season.[2] Following the season's end, he was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the 23rd round of the 2018 Major League Baseball draft.[3][4]


Professional career


Woods signed with Atlanta and made his professional debut with the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Braves, going 0–1 with a 6.10 ERA over 20+2⁄3 innings. In 2019, Woods pitched for the Rome Braves of the Class A South Atlantic League in which he went 1–5 with a 3.35 ERA and 58 strikeouts over 51 innings.[5] Woods did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] He split the 2021 season between Rome and the Mississippi Braves,[7] though he appeared in only five total games due to an elbow injury.[8]

On November 18, 2021, the Braves selected his contract and added him to the 40-man roster.[9] He opened the 2022 season with Mississippi.[10] After three appearances, Woods was promoted to the Gwinnett Stripers.[11] On April 26, 2022, Woods was called up to the major leagues.[12][13][14][15] He made his MLB debut the next day, pitching a scoreless inning with one walk and one strikeout against the Chicago Cubs.[16][17]
