Woods attended Half Hollow Hills East High School in Dix Hills, New York. While pitching for the school's baseball team in 2013, he threw two consecutive no-hitters.[160]

The Tampa Bay Rays selected him in the sixth round of the 2013 MLB draft, but he did not sign with the Rays. He enrolled at State University of New York at Albany, and played college baseball for the Albany Great Danes.[161] In the summer of 2014, he played collegiate summer baseball for the North Fork Ospreys of the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League.[162] After his junior year, the San Francisco Giants selected him in the eighth round of the 2016 MLB draft. Woods signed with the Giants rather than return to Albany for his senior year.[161][163] He spent his first professional season with both the AZL Giants and the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes, posting a combined 1-2 record and 3.34 ERA in 35 total innings. In 2017, he played for the Augusta GreenJackets, going 6-7 with a 2.95 ERA in 110 innings.[164]

On December 20, 2017, the Giants traded Woods, Denard Span, Christian Arroyo, and Matt Krook to the Rays for Evan Longoria and cash considerations.[165] He did not pitch in 2018 due to injury. Woods returned to pitch in 2019, spending the year with the Charlotte Stone Crabs and compiling a 9-3 record with a 1.88 ERA over 18 games (12 starts), striking out 79 over 86+1⁄3 innings.[166]

On December 12, 2019, Woods was selected by the Kansas City Royals in the 2019 Rule 5 draft.[166]
