Indians Sign Minor League Free Agent Ryan Anthony

The Indians recently signed minor league free agent LHP Ryan Anthony out of Emporia State University (KS). He has been assigned to short-season Single-A Mahoning Valley and will be making his professional debut tomorrow as the starting pitcher.

Here is an official press release from his former school on the signing:

June 19, 2009 -- Former Hornet pitcher Ryan Anthony signed with the Cleveland Indians organization today. The 6-4 left hander from Overland Park, Kan. will report to Ohio where he will begin his career with either the Lake County Captains or the Mahoning Valley Scrappers.

Anthony went 8-3 this season with a 3.38 ERA and 74 strikeouts. He threw a team high two shutouts along with three complete games. He was named second team All-MIAA as a pitcher this season.

He will join three other Hornets in short season single A baseball. He joins Keith Hernandez (Oneonta Tigers), Conner Crumbliss (Vancouver Canadians) and Trent Lare (Staten Island Yankees) in the minor leagues. He is the second ESU left-hander to sign in as many days as Lare signed with the Yankees yesterday.
