Woodards is another draft-and-follow who signed after his freshman year at Sacramento City College, where he moved from the outfield to the mound under coach Jerry Weinstein, now the Dodgers' farm director. While Woodards' pitching experience is somewhat limited, the Blue Jays thought enough of him to add him to their 40-man roster. He has electric stuff, with a 90-94 mph fastball and a power curveball that he throws in the 80-84 range. His excellent numbers at Dunedin last year showed that he's starting to get a feel for pitching. Because he lacks a true offspeed pitch, he'll stick to relieving, most likely as a set-up man.
