Ryan Hinson

Hinson was a Top 100 college prospect entering the 2008 season, having gone 6-2, 2.74 as a sophomore, followed by Cape Cod League tour that included 35 strikeouts in 35 innings pitched. However, Hinson was never the same pitcher his last two seasons at Clemson, losing his rotation spot in 2008, then moving into almost exclusively a relief role in 2009. A solid senior sign, at his best Hinson throws in the upper 80s with his fastball while pitching effectively inside to righthanded hitters with a mid-80s cutter. He lacks a putaway pitch when he gets ahead in counts.
