Shortly after winning a silver medal with Team USA at the 2020 Olympics, Joe Ryan made his big league debut.
The San Francisco Giants selected Ryan in the 39th round of the amateur draft in 2014 out of high school (two choices before Drew Rasmussen), but he decided to attend college instead.
At Cal State Northridge, he excelled as a freshman (3-0, Sv, 1.48 ERA,.73 WHIP, 32 K, .136 opponent average in 30 1/3 IP).
For the Orleans Firebirds of the Cape Cod League that summer, he recorded two saves and a 1.13 ERA while striking out 12 batters in 8 innings.
He slumped to 1-2, 3.35 as a sophomore when he returned to Northridge. For the Firebirds in 2016, he had a 2-1, 2.12 record. He would have placed in the top 10 in ERA if he had been eligible.
Joe had a difficult year in 2017 due to an injury (0-1, 12.79 in 5 G). He was 8-1 with a 1.65 ERA as a senior transfer at Cal State Stanislaus.
He shared second place in the California Collegiate Athletic Association with Preston Mott and Alex Vesia for victories, while he held the lead in whiffs (127, 39 more than Mott) and ERA (.29 ahead of Vesia).
He was selected by the Tampa Bay Rays one spot ahead of Andrew Wantz in the seventh round of the amateur draft in 2018. Al Hull was the scout.
With the Hudson Valley Renegades, he made his professional debut and recorded 2-1, 3.72 records with 51 strikeouts in 36 1/3 IP.
He pitched for the Charlotte Stone Crabs (7-2, 1.42, 112 K, 12 BB, 47 H in 82 2/3 IP), Montgomery Biscuits (3.38 ERA, 24 K in 13 1/3 IP), and Bowling Green Hot Rods (2-2, 2.93, 47 K in 27 2/3 IP).
He was one of the best minor league pitchers in 2019. He had a 1.96 ERA and .84 WHIP in 123 2/3 innings pitched, striking out 183 batters.
He was the Rays minor leaguer with the third-most strikeouts ever; Matt Moore held the top two positions.
