Ryan Sloan Undergoes Season-Ending Eye Procedure
Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Ryan Sloan (eye) underwent a procedure on his eye that will keep him out two to three weeks, ending his season. The Mariners' fifth-ranked prospect began the year at Single-A, where he showed well, pitching to a 3.44 ERA (2.91 FIP), 1.15 WHIP, and a 21.8 percent K-BB%, while allowing just two home runs in the 70 2/3 innings he pitched. That performance earned him a promotion to High-A, where things did not go quite as smoothly, posting a 5.56 ERA (4.86 FIP), 1.24 WHIP, and three home runs in 11 1/3 innings pitched. Notably, though, the 6-foot-5 hurler did not walk any batters in his three starts there, recording a 13:0 K:BB. The 19-year-old is expected to be ready to go next spring, although it will likely be a couple of years before we see him in the majors.
