Ryan Ludwick was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the second round of the 1999 draft, out of UNLV. He was considered to be an impressive power hitter, and he performed well in his pro debut, hitting .275/.348/.444 in 43 games for Modesto in the Cal League. He fanned 45 times in 171 at-bats, but otherwise his performance was quite strong for a guy jumping to the Cal League out of college. I gave him a Grade C in the 2000 book, which in retrospect looks much too low, though I did give him a positive review in the comment and noted that the grade was conservative.
