“We are so excited to welcome Ryan to our family”, says Canaries Manager Mike Meyer. “He has worked incredibly hard over the last 6 seasons to turn himself into a top-5 pitcher in the American Association. He is an absolute workhorse who possesses a mid-90’s fastball with elite command, can really spin his breaking ball, and has a plus changeup that really keeps hitters off-balance. We will count on him to anchor our rotation here in 2024, and I cannot wait to hand him the ball every 5 days.”
The Canaries open up their 50-game Regular Season home schedule on Friday, May 17th against the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks. For more information on the latest news, season tickets, and group outings, visiting the Canaries website at www.sfcanaries.com or call the Front Office at (605)336-6060.
