As the Twins have gotten off to a good start, many new faces have made strong starts. But you may have been wondering, who is this? This series will introduce you to the new faces on the Twins quickly and informatively.

Joe Ryan

How Did we get him?

Ryan was part of the Nelson Cruz trade. He was acquired at the trade deadline in 2021 and was seen as a young pitcher with lots of potential.

How is he doing?

Joe Ryan has started blazing hot. With a 3-1 record and a 1.17 ERA through April, Ryan had given up 3 runs off 10 hits in his 4 starts and has 25 strikeouts. Opponents are batting .132 against Ryan.

What is his role?

If Ryan continues his performance. He will continue on to be a franchise pitcher. He is doing better than Jose Berrios ever did and he is only a rookie. He should be 1st in the rotation and continue to lead this amazing Twins pitching staff.
