Joshua J. Ravin (born January 21, 1988) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Career[edit]

Cincinnati Reds[edit]

The Cincinnati Reds selected Ravin in the fifth round of the 2006 MLB Draft out of Chatsworth High School in Chatsworth, Los Angeles, California.[1] He made his professional debut with the Gulf Coast Reds in 2006.[1] and was named the Carolina League pitcher of the week for August 9–15, 2010 while playing for the Lynchburg Hillcats.[2]

The Reds added Ravin to their 40-man roster after the 2012 season.[3] He was desinated for assignment by the Reds on September 16, 2014[4] after posting a 4.82 ERA in 48 combined games for the Pensacola Blue Wahoos of the Class AA Southern League and Louisville Bats of the Class AAA International League in 2013.[1]

Los Angeles Dodgers[edit]

Ravin was claimed off waivers by the Milwaukee Brewers on September 19, 2013[5] but was outrighted by them on October 23.[6] After becoming a free agent, he signed a minor league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers on December 13, 2013[7] and split the 2014 season between the AA Chattanooga Lookouts and AAA Albuquerque Isotopes. Combined he was 2–1 with a 3.55 ERA in 23 games.[1] The Dodgers invited him to attend major league spring training in 2015[8] and he was assigned to the AAA Oklahoma City Dodgers.[9]

Ravin was called up to the majors by the Dodgers on June 2, 2015.[10] He made his debut that night against the Colorado Rockies, striking out the one batter he faced, DJ LeMahieu, and picking up the win.[11]
