“Do you guys want to go to Atlanta after that?” Woo asked.

What came out on the other line was a scream of joy, as his father, Clayton, belted out, “No freaking way!”
“No way!” he yelled even louder as Woo started to get emotional.

“Holy s—, Bryan!” she said. “Oh my god, no way.”
Once the astonishment was over, the elder Woo said they will definitely be heading to Atlanta, where this year’s All-Star Game will be hosted.
Woo has had a tremendous start to the 2025 season, owning a 2.77 ERA over 17 starts (107.1 innings) with 104 strikeouts to just 19 walks. He is building off a 2024 campaign, where he had a 2.89 ERA over 22 starts.
