Patrick Ryan – Milwaukee Brewers RHP

H/W:  6-0  200 lb.     B/T:  R/R     DOB:  5/31/83

Ryan pitched exclusively in relief for AA-Huntsville going 5-5 with a 2.52 ERA and 6 saves.  He proved to be more hittable this season and his control was not as sharp as it was in his two stops in 2007.  Ryan is not overpowering but his 90-92 MPH fastball has good late life down in the strike zone and his hard curveball and change rate as solid average MLB pitches.  The sink on Ryan's fastball effectively induces ground ball outs.  This season he induced his groundball/flyball ratio of 2.96 made him very effective in middle relief despite his low strikeout numbers.  Ryan will likely begin the '09 season at AAA Nashville with an MLB debut in Milwaukee likely to happen at some point during the season.  Long term, his ceiling is merely as a solid middle reliever.
