Ryne Stanek is the 130th chapter in this series. A six-foot-four, 226 lb. right-handed relief pitcher from St. Louis, MO, Stanek was initially chosen in the third round of the 2010 draft by the Seattle Mariners. After instead matriculating to the University of Arkansas, he was again drafted. His gamble paid off, and the Tampa Bay Rays took him 29th off the board.
Stanek signed to a deal that included a $1,755,000 bonus. He got to the majors with Tampa Bay in 2017, and was traded to the Miami Marlins with Jesús Sánchez for Nick Anderson and Trevor Richards.
