Joe Ryan Called Up To Big Leagues, To Make Debut Wednesday
3 years agoMinnesota Twins starting pitcher Joe Ryan will be called up Wednesday as part of the team's September roster additions. Ryan, who came over to the Twins in the Nelson Cruz trade, will make his debut against the Cubs Wednesday. The 25-year-old Ryan has pitched to a 3.68 ERA with a 91:12 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 66 innings between Triple-A Durham and Triple-A St. Paul. He features a fastball, slider, changeup, and curveball, though his 92-96 MPH heater has been his bread-and-butter pitch in his pro career, thanks to his deceptive delivery. Ryan is an intriguing DFS play on Wednesday's slate, given the fact that the Cubs own the majors' worst strikeout rate- and that the talented righty has racked up 326 strikeouts in 226 career innings.
