Ryan M. Goins (born February 13, 1988) is an American professional baseball second baseman and shortstop for the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball.
Career
Goins attended Stony Point High School in Round Rock, Texas, where he played on his school's baseball team as a shortstop.[1] He then enrolled at Dallas Baptist University, where he played college baseball for the Dallas Baptist Patriots.
The Blue Jays drafted Goins in the fourth round of the 2009 MLB Draft out of Dallas Baptist. Goins played for the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats in 2012.[2] The Blue Jays assigned him to the Arizona Fall League and added him to their 40-man roster after the 2012 season.[3][4] For most of the 2013 season, Goins played for the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.[5]
Goins was called up by the Blue Jays on August 22, 2013, when Maicer Izturis was placed on the 15-day disabled list.[6][7] He made his MLB debut on August 23, batting ninth and playing second base against the Houston Astros. Goins would later move to shortstop and finished the game 2–4 with a double. He recorded his first career RBI on August 25 when he grounded out in the ninth inning.[8] On August 31, 2013, Goins tied a Blue Jays franchise record by hitting in his 8th consecutive game to begin his major league career. Jesse Barfield also opened his career with a 8-game hitting streak in 1981.[9] Goins' hit streak ended at 8 games on September 1 against the Kansas City Royals, when he went 0–4 with 2 strikeouts. Goins hit his first big league homer on September 18 off David Huff of the New York Yankees.
