CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Lake County Captains got some good news this week as relief pitcher Ryder Ryan was selected to play in the Midwest League All Star game for the Eastern Division. The MWL All-Star Classic is on June 20 at Dow Diamond in Midland, MI, home of the Great Lakes Loons.
Ryan, 22, is a 6-2, 205-pound right-handed reliever out of the University of North Carolina, will be Lake County's lone representative at the MWL Classic. Ryan, who owns a 0.84 ERA, was a position player at UNC, but the Indians drafted him as a pitcher in the 30th round last year.
