Giants Top 50 Prospects #44: Ryan Verdugo

#44 Ryan Verdugo. LHP. BD: 04-10-1987. 6'0", 195 lbs.

2009 Stats: AZL Rookie- 0-0, 0.00, 3 IP, 0 BB, 6 K's. Low A- 4-0, 1.39, 32.1 IP, 19 BB, 45 K's.

Drafted out of LSU in 2008, Verdugo had success in the Arizona League and Salem-Keizer his first pro season. Last year, he continued that success in Augusta. The BB/9 is a bit disconcerting but I like the K/9 even better than I dislike the BB/9. I would expect to see Ryan pitching long relief out of the bullpen in San Jose this year.
