River Ryan Looks Ready for MLB, a Top Pitching Stash?
Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect River Ryan continues to deliver impressive results at Triple-A, and he could be ready to make his return to MLB sooner rather than later. Ryan, now 27, made his MLB debut in 2024, but he missed all of 2025 due to injury and opened 2026 in the minors. Through five starts (22 innings) at Triple-A this year, he owns a 2.05 ERA, 2.00 FIP, 11.86 K/9, 1.23 BB/9, and 0.00 HR/9. He's been successful at limiting weak contact with a 51.9% ground ball rate. He throws six different pitches, but his upper-90s fastball and tight slider are his two best offerings. He has a remarkable 19.2% hard-hit rate (96th percentile), as well as a 35.33% chase rate (91st percentile) and a 33.0% whiff rate (82nd percentile). The Dodgers have a stacked starting rotation as it stands, but once a spot opens up, Ryan should take the opportunity and run with it. He has tremendous upside once he does make his MLB debut, making him an intriguing fantasy stash in redraft leagues.
