Cincinnati Reds

[edit]

2010

On June 30, Wood was called up from Triple-A Louisville replacing Daniel Ray Herrera on the Reds active roster [3] Wood made his major league debut on July 1, 2010, versus the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, getting a no decision in an eventual 3–2 Reds victory.

In his third career start, versus the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on July 10, 2010, Wood flirted with a perfect game, pitching eight flawless innings before surrendering a double to Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz in the bottom of the ninth inning. Regardless, Wood actually could not have finished the perfect game in the ninth inning, because Phillies ace Roy Halladay, who himself had thrown a perfect game earlier in the 2010 season, also was pitching a shutout through nine innings. Wood exited after nine innings of one-hit ball, and the Reds would later lose the game 1–0 in 11 innings, with Ruiz scoring the winning run.

In 2014, Wood hit his 9th career homerun off of St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright. Wood struggled in 2014, with a 5.03 ERA in 31 starts. After struggling in the rotation to start the 2015 season, Wood was moved to the bullpen. Wood fared much better as a reliever, posting a 2.95 ERA and 4 saves in relief.

Kansas City Royals

[edit]

Detroit Tigers

[edit]

On January 29, 2018, Wood signed a minor league contract with the Detroit Tigers.[9] However, Wood tore his ACL in spring training and the Tigers released him on March 8.[10]

Pitching style

[edit]

Wood has an expansive pitch repertoire, throwing six pitches with regularity. He has three fastballs — a four-seamer at 89–92 mph, a two-seamer at 88–91, and a cutter at 87–90. He also throws two breaking balls — a slider (80–83) and a curveball (71–75) – and, finally, a changeup at 78–81. Wood's pitches to left-handed hitters are most often four-seamers, cutters, and sliders, with an occasional curveball. To right-handers, he throws the four-seamer, two-seamer, cutter, and changeup.[11]

Pitching style

Pitch repertoire

Travis Wood's pitching arsenal primarily consisted of a four-seam fastball, sinker (two-seam fastball), cutter, slider, curveball, and changeup throughout his Major League Baseball career from 2010 to 2017. His four-seam fastball, averaging 89.4 mph, served as the cornerstone of his repertoire with a career usage rate of 40.0%, though it generated a relatively low whiff rate of 23.2% and a run value of -5.4, indicating below-average effectiveness in preventing runs. The sinker, at 88.9 mph, was thrown 14.8% of the time and proved more effective with a 12.2% whiff rate and a strong run value of 23.8, contributing to inducing ground balls. Wood's cutter, averaging 86.3 mph, saw significant usage at 25.5% over his career, with a 15.2% whiff rate and a near-neutral run value of -0.1; it was particularly valued for generating ground balls, especially as its usage increased in later years. , his primary out pitch at 79.2 mph, was deployed 7.2% of the time and excelled in swing-and-miss situations with a 29.9% whiff rate and a run value of -5.6, making it a key weapon against both left- and right-handed batters. Complementing this, the (72.1 mph, 3.7% usage) offered a 14.0% whiff rate but a positive run value of 6.1, while the changeup (79.1 mph, 8.8% usage) achieved a 13.6% whiff rate and -5.7 run value, often utilized more frequently against right-handed hitters to disrupt timing. Over the course of his career, Wood's repertoire evolved notably, with increased cutter usage in later years reflecting an adaptation toward pitches that promoted ground-ball contact. Early reliance on the sinker diminished as he incorporated more four-seam fastballs and breaking balls for better overall balance, based on PITCHf/x data from 2010 to 2017. By 2017, Statcast metrics showed his four-seam fastball at 88.8 mph with 46.6% usage and a -8 run value, while the slider maintained a 20.5% whiff rate, underscoring the sustained effectiveness of his off-speed pitches despite a slight velocity decline.

Mechanics and approach

Travis Wood, a left-handed , utilized a three-quarters arm slot in his delivery, which allowed him to maintain balance and deception while keeping the ball hidden from hitters until late in the motion. This arm action contributed to a relatively quick delivery from the stretch, helping to limit baserunner advances and picked-off attempts throughout his . His featured a smooth transition over the top midway through the delivery, with minimal tells between his primary and , enabling consistent command despite occasional inconsistencies in slot maintenance. Wood approached pitching as an aggressive strike-thrower, prioritizing early-count strikes to generate contact rather than overpowering hitters with , as evidenced by his 3.5 BB/9 rate that reflected solid but not elite control. He worked to induce more ground balls to mitigate vulnerability by refining his cutter usage and tunneling with his , achieving a ground ball rate of 34.5%. This contact-oriented mindset extended to his rare offensive contributions as a National League , where he demonstrated notable hitting ability, including two s in 2017. Later in his career, Wood adapted to a role during the 2016 and 2017 seasons, transitioning from starter to multi-inning reliever for the Chicago Cubs and later teams, which emphasized short, high-leverage outings over extended starts. This shift allowed him to leverage his quick delivery and strike-throwing in burst scenarios, posting a 2.95 in 77 relief appearances in 2016. However, occasional control issues persisted, with his walk rate climbing to 4.3 BB/9 in 2017 amid the role change, contributing to an elevated 6.80 that year.
