2024(AA): 3-3, 3.49, 67 IP, 12.09 K/9, 4.16 BB/9.

Carson Ragsdale is a guy I followed before the 2020 draft because I am always intrigued by tall pitchers and he's tall at 6' 8". I was obviously happy when the Giants got him from the Phillies for Sam Coonrod. Memba him? Unfortunately Ragsdale ran into injury issues. He missed all of 2022 after undergoing surgery for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and then most of 2023 with an elbow injury. He was healthy in 2024 and pitched well in AA. He struggled in AAA which is not unusual. In addition to several extremely hitter-friendly ballparks, the PCL uses electronics to enforce a reduced strike zone. Just an extremely tough league for pitchers. He did have one memorable 11 K performance in August 2024. He was added to the 40-man roster in November and has 3 option years. He'll most likely start 2025 back in Sacramento and hope for an MLB opportunity.
