CHARLESTON, S.C. --- Former College of Charleston ace Ryan Johnson was inducted into the Charleston Sports Hall of Fame earlier this month in recognition of his contributions to the Cougars' baseball program during the 2002 and 2004 seasons.
Johnson compiled a 23-3 record in two seasons at the front of the Cougars' rotation in 2002 and 2004, while leading the College to its first-ever Southern Conference regular season title and a berth in the program's first NCAA Regional. In 2002, Johnson went 11-3 with a 3.14 ERA and 55 strikeouts to lead the Cougars to a 36-22 record, and a berth in the SoCon Championship game.
Following a medical redshirt in 2003, the right-hander returned in emphatic fashion in 2004. That season, Johnson posted a flawless 12-0 record to go along with a 3.30 ERA and 58 strikeouts in 87.1 innings of work. The 2004 campaign proved to be a program-altering one for Charleston, with the Cougars capturing the Southern Conference title and advancing to the NCAA Regional.
For his efforts, Johnson was named the SoCon Co-Pitcher of the Year in addition to a spot on the Louisville Slugger NCAA Division I All-America Third Team. Johnson finished his CofC career with a 23-3 record and a .885 winning percentage, the latter of which ranks second in the program's history. His career ERA of 3.26 ranks eighth in the school's record book. In 2010, Johnson was honored with a spot on the program's Wall of Fame.
