Anthony Ranaudo

Anthony Ranaudo
Boston Red Sox
Pitcher
Born: (1989-09-09) September 9, 1989 Jackson, New Jersey
Bats: Right	Throws: Right

Anthony Ranaudo (born September 9, 1989 in Jackson, New Jersey) is a professional baseball player drafted in the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft by the Boston Red Sox. He is listed as 6'7" and 225 lbs.

Ranaudo was one of four children born to Angelo and Sharon Ranaudo. He attended St. Rose High School in Belmar, New Jersey, where also played basketball and was president of the student council. Amassing numerous awards as a standout pitcher, Ranaudo was selected by the Texas Rangers in the 2007 MLB draft upon graduation, but did not sign a contract. He was a New York Yankees fan growing up.

Ranaudo attended Louisiana State University. He pitched for 2008, 2009, and 2010 Tigers. Entering his junior season in 2010, Anthony was seen by many as one of the top pitchers coming into the draft. However, Ranaudo missed five weeks of the season due to an elbow injury. He had a standout year in 2009, third in NCAA strikeouts and was a critical player in the Tiger's College World Series Victory. However, upon returning from the elbow injury in 2010, his numbers nor performance were the same as the previous year.

Ranaudo also pitched twice in the Cape Cod Baseball League. After his freshman year he pitched for the Y-D Red Sox and then for the Brewster Whitecaps following his junior year. Ranaudo dominated during his tenure with the Whitecaps, pitching to a 3-0 record, without giving up a run in 29.2 innings of 31/8 K/BB pitching.

Ranaudo was selected 39th overall in the supplemental first round of the 2010 MLB Draft. He signed with the Red Sox for a $2.55 million signing bonus just shortly before the signing deadline on August 16, 2010. Anthony was assigned first to the Red Sox minor league affiliate Lowell Spinners where he will not pitch in 2010.
