The Arizona Fall League kicked off yesterday, and the Peoria Javelinas—containing prospects from Seattle, San Diego, Cleveland, Washington, and the New York Mets—notched their first win of the season with a dynamic showing from several Mariners prospects.
RHP Bryan Woo started the game for the Javelinas, throwing four no-hit shutout innings, allowing just one walk and hitting a batter. He recorded five strikeouts, showing his stuff plays well against upper-level competition after beginning his season this year for Low-A Modesto. Woo’s arsenal consists of a lively fastball (94-97) with plus movement up in the zone and a hard (mid-to-upper 80s) slider that he’s still perfecting the shape of and learning to throw consistently for strikes.
