Ryder Ryan Fantasy Stats

The Los Angeles Dodgers signed relief pitcher Ryder Ryan to a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training. Ryan will try to latch on with the team in camp and will earn $800K if he makes the 26-man roster. Last season, Ryan posted a 4.73 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and a 61/38 K/BB ratio across 42 games (three starts) in Triple-A Indianapolis in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. Ryan did pitch 15 games with the big league club in 2024, but struggled to the tune of a 5.66 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. He'll most likely join his brother River in Triple-A to begin the season.

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Pittsburgh Pirates have signed right-handed pitcher Ryder Ryan to a minor-league deal that includes an invite to spring training. Ryder logged 20 2/3 innings with the Pirates last season and posted a 5.66 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. He struck out 17 batters and posted a high 9.7% walk rate. Through 41 innings with Triple-A Indianapolis, Ryan posted a 4.61 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP with a 15:34 BB:K ratio. Across 200 1/3 career frames at the Triple-A level, the North Carolina product holds a 4.31 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. Fantasy managers should expect Ryan to compete for a spot in the bullpen during spring training but will likely open the campaign at Triple-A given his lack of big league experience and success.

The Seattle Mariners signed right-hander Ryder Ryan to a minor-league deal this week. Ryan has pitched in the minor leagues for the Texas Rangers the last two years. In 47 relief appearances for Triple-A Round Rock in 2022, he went 5-4 with a 3.64 ERA, a 1.38 WHIP, one save, 29 walks and 67 strikeouts in 59 1/3 innings pitched. It was an improvement over his 2021 campaign with Round Rock, when he went 2-7 with a 5.60 ERA, a 1.49 WHIP, 19 walks and 55 strikeouts in 45 innings over 38 relief outings. It's unknown if the 27-year-old will be invited to big-league camp in spring training, but there's a pretty good chance he'll open the 2023 back in the minor leagues for Seattle.
