Michael Sean Ryan (born July 6, 1977 in Indiana, Pennsylvania) is a baseball outfielder who is currently a free agent. Ryan played in the Pittsburgh Pirates minor league organization in 2007. Ryan was drafted by the Minnesota Twins organization in 5th round of the 1996 draft. He played for the Minnesota Twins organization from 1996 to 2005. He also played in the Atlanta Braves organization, for the AAA Richmond Braves, but had a bad year and only batted .242 with six home runs. Ryan played better for Pittsburgh's Triple-A affiliate, the Indianapolis Indians in 2007, with a .259 average and 16 home runs. Ryan's spring training of 2007 was great, with the Pirates organization, batting .396 with an on base percentage of .418 and a slugging percentage of .547. Ryan had 17 runs with 9 RBIs on 21 hits. Ryan has signed with the Somerset Patriots of the Atlantic League for the 2008 season.
On September 14, 2003, Ryan was involved with a bizarre outfield play during a game against the Cleveland Indians, where Jhonny Peralta hit a fly ball to Ryan in right-center field. Ryan shaded his eyes before lowering his glove, and was hit in the side of the face by the pop-fly. The out was saved, however, because outfielder Dustan Mohr caught the ball on the rebound. He left the game with a welt above his left eye.[1]
