Ryan Vogelsong

Ryan Vogelsong is back in the Steel City after spending time in Japan and with the Giants. He lasted pitched for the Pirates a decade ago, where he spent time as a starter and reliever from 2003-2006. Though he doesn’t have great stuff, you can count on Vogelsong to eat a lot of innings and be an emergency starter if needed. His ERA so far this season is the lowest in 5 seasons at 3.24.
