COACHES COMMENTS:

Ryan is a very talented young man with high level baseball abilities.  Ryan is a left-handed pitcher with the athletic ability to play outfield and firstbase all at a high level.  On the mound, Ryan has a very explosive arm with a little bit of effort.  His frame is very projectable, and he’s already very strong.  He has 3 above average pitches that he has the confidence to throw in any count.  His fastball is overpowering to high school hitters and has heavy, late action.  He throws it with little effort and is very deceptive as a result.  His best pitch is his change.  He has a lot of confidence with it, very good feel for it and loves to throw it in hitter’s counts.  His change makes his already above average fastball that much better.  He also creates very tight spin on his slider.  It has very late, tight break and is very affective to both right-handed hitters and left-handed hitters.  Ryan has a very strong mound presence, giving him an advantage before hitters even step in the box.  Ryan is also a very strong position player.  At the plate, he has above average bat speed and creates a lot of power from the left side of the plate.  He uses all fields well and has a strong 2 strike approach.  He has a lot of foot speed and is a great bunter.  Ryan has the tools to hit in the middle of the lineup and the mentality to hit in the top.  In the outfield, Ryan covers a lot of ground and tracks the ball very well.  He has an above average throwing arm and is always a threat to baserunners.  At first base, Ryan has a lot of range and plays the game very low.  His footwork around the bag makes him a very good target.  He trusts his hands and has a very strong release.  As Ryan continues to mature, he will have the opportunity to play the game at the highest level.

Ryan has verbally committed to play college baseball at the University of Georgia.
