Biography
Ryan Karp, born in 1970, was a professional baseball pitcher who had a brief career in Major League Baseball from 1995 to 1997. He played for the Philadelphia Phillies and was known for his left-handed pitching style. Karp made his debut on June 23, 1995, and competed in the league during a time when the game was witnessing a surge in offensive performance, reflecting the tail end of the so-called "offensive explosion" era of baseball.
Throughout his career, Karp recorded a win-loss record of 1-1 and posted an earned run average (ERA) of 5.29 over his time on the mound. He struck out 20 batters and did not achieve any saves, indicating his role primarily as a starter or middle reliever rather than a closer. While his major league tenure was relatively short, Karp's journey through the ranks of professional baseball highlights the challenging nature of sustaining a long career in the sport.
