(Wausau) – This week the Woodchucks would like to welcome University of California –San Diego RHP Ryan Goodbrand to the 2012 roster.  Ryan comes to the Woodchucks from a strong baseball program; the same program that produced 2011 NWL All-Star and Ryan’s current teammate Danny Susdorf.

Ryan, a junior, is already off to a strong start in the 2012 season.  In two starts, Ryan picked up his first win as a UC – San Diego starter, while striking out 8.  He enters his junior season after putting together an impressive summer in the Alaska Baseball League, playing for the Anchorage Bucs.  In 6 appearances for the Bucs, Ryan compiled a 1.61 ERA with 24 strikeouts and only 6 walks.

Ryan is a 2009 graduate of Tesoro HS in Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif were he earned All-CIF Second Team and All-South Coast League First Team accolades.  He helped the Tritons earn a share of the league championship in 2008, going 2-1 with a 1.31 ERA.  As a senior, Ryan went 8-0 with a 1.60 ERA.
