Ryan Eades

Ryan Nelson Eades was born on December 15, 1991 in Slidell, Louisiana.

The Minnesota Twins selected him in round two of the 2013 MLB Draft. He made his Major League debut for Minnesota on June 8, 2019 by tossing two scoreless innings out of the bullpen against the Detroit Tigers. Eades pitched again on June 12th, tossing 1.2 shutout innings against the Seattle Mariners. The Twins optioned Eades to the minors, and then designated him for assignment in August. He was claimed by the Baltimore Orioles.

Eades made six appearances for the Orioles, recording a 3.52 ERA over 6.1 innings. Baltimore removed him from the 40-man roster during the off-season. He continued to pitch professionally through 2021, but never made it back to the Majors.
