12/01/2023 - Baseball Factory Academic All-American Tournament Ryan continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities at the Academic All American showcase. He did show at 1B for the first time at the event. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date. At 1B, he displays smooth actions. He shows active footwork, working to square ball up. Feet are active as he displays proper footwork around the bag and he is a quality receiver. Glove action is clean but needs to present more out front. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness. At the plate, he continues to shine through a squared setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He has strength in his swing and shows a feel for the barrel. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn. On the mound, arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date at 80 mph. Fastball showed a range of 79-80 mph. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with gradual break. Slider is harder with tight spin and short break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with slight sink. Stock on the mound will continue to increase as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. Mental makeup is a plus as he has a great personality, is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.
