Ryan Yarbrough, first Saint to play in the World Series
October 23, 2020
Former Santa Fe Saints left-handed pitcher Ryan Yarbrough is playing in the Fall Classic
this week with the Tampa Bay Rays. Ryan played baseball for the Saints in the spring
of 2011 and 2012, winning the Mid-Florida Conference both years.
"It's real exciting to watch Ryan live his dream of playing in the major leagues and
now the ultimate, playing in the World Series," said SF Head Coach Johnny Wiggs. "The
whole Santa Fe College baseball program is proud of Ryan and we are living vicariously
through him."
Ryan has been in the Major Leagues for 3 years with the Rays and has put together
good numbers with a record of 28-16 and an ERA of 3.97. This postseason he has pitched
10.2 innings with an ERA of 3.38. On Tuesday night, he appeared in Game 1 of the World
Series in relief but is expected to start Game 4 on Saturday.
When Ryan signed with the Santa Fe Saints his dad told coach Wiggs that his son would
play in the Major Leagues. He's done that and now has a chance to be a World Series
Champion. Go get 'em Ryan! Your SF family is cheering for you.
