Kirk Rueter earned the nickname "Woody" due to his resemblance to a character in the animated movie Toy Story. Throughout his career, Rueter was primarily a control pitcher. Although, his fastball rarely hit 90 mph, he threw change ups, fastballs, sinkers, curveballs, cut fastballs, and a sliders. Kirk Rueter was the winning pitcher in game 4 and provided shutout relief in game 7 of the 2002 World Series.
