Jaden Woods, Georgia– More of an industry riser than one in our rankings (already the No. 29 college prospect in the August PBR Draft HQ college rankings), Woods was electric in his start against Florida in Jacksonville, pitching two scoreless innings with five strikeouts. He pitched with a 93-95 mph heater and his trademark 81-84 mph swing/miss, high-spin curveball. He worked quickly, filled the zone and overmatched the Gators’ lineup throughout his short stint. The arrow continues to point up after a successful summer with the CNT, followed by an even better fall for the Bulldogs where he has struck out nine in four and one-third innings.

Jaden Woods

Georgia

Woods has been almost exclusively a fastball guy to this point, throwing the heat almost three-quarters of the time. He can rush it up to 98, but sits 91-95 on most nights, settling in 91-93 as the game goes on. He checks a lot of metric boxes with hop at the top of the zone and above average spin rates suggesting more may be coming. A fringy low-80s slider is his go-to secondary, but it's inconsistent. Woods will need to develop a true weapon in 2023 should he hope to capitalize on his arm talent and go in the first two rounds.
