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

Early life

Josh Ravin was born in West Hills, California on January 21, 1988, to parents Virgil and Lana Ravin.[1][2] He has an older brother, Joel.[3]

Career

Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds selected Ravin in the fifth round of the 2006 MLB Draft out of Chatsworth High School in Chatsworth, Los Angeles, California.[4] He made his professional debut with the Gulf Coast Reds in 2006.[4] and was named the Carolina League pitcher of the week for August 9–15, 2010 while playing for the Lynchburg Hillcats.[5]

The Reds added Ravin to their 40-man roster after the 2012 season and invited him to spring training in 2013.[6][7] He was designated for assignment by the Reds on September 16, 2013 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.[8][4]

Los Angeles Dodgers

Ravin was claimed off waivers by the Milwaukee Brewers on September 19, 2013 but was outrighted by them on October 23.[9][10] After becoming a free agent, he signed a minor league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers on December 13, 2013[11] 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.[4] The Dodgers invited him to attend major league spring training in 2015[12] and he was assigned to the AAA Oklahoma City Dodgers.[13]

Ravin was called up to the majors by the Dodgers on June 2, 2015.[14] He made his debut that night against the Colorado Rockies, striking out the one batter he faced, DJ LeMahieu, and picking up the win.[15] He appeared in a total of nine games for the Dodgers in 2015, allowing seven runs in ​9 1⁄3 innings.[16] He also pitched in 22 games for Oklahoma City with a 3.86 ERA.[4]

Ravin broke the radius bone in his left forearm in a multi-vehicle automobile accident on February 29, 2016. The injury required surgery.[17] While on the disabled list to start the season, Ravin was given an 80 game suspension by MLB for taking a banned performance enhancing substance.[18]

Personal life

Ravin's brother, Joel, was shot five times after being kidnapped on October 4, 2015. He survived.[19]
