Rome Starter Selected Best Pitcher
Monday, June 1st , 2026
When Theron Ryan takes the hill, he usually takes command of the game -- at least that's the way it was in May. The outcome was usually a Rome victory. His fine 5-0 performance earned him the South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Month trophy.

The talented Hammers hurler made 7 starts, worked 48.2 innings, permitted 47 base hits, and struck out 38 while putting up a 2.22 ERA.

To date Ryan is 6-2 in 12 starts with a 3.09 ERA and has 60 strikeouts in 78.2 innings.
