When the Tampa Bay Rays traded their projected closer, Emilio Pagan earlier this offseason, it opened up a few opportunities for relievers to join the league’s most stingy bullpen from last season. Ryan Sherriff is one of the pitchers that has joined the fray.
Sherriff has been dominant in three spring innings thus far. The two-seam artist has allowed one hit and zero walks. How did he end up here?
Professional Career
Sherriff was drafted in the 33rd round out of the 2010 draft by the Washington Nationals. He did not sign with the team and was again drafted the following year by the Cardinals.
