01/21/2013 - College PREP - Omaha, NE Ryan is a SS that will graduate in 2014. Foot speed is well above average as indicated by his 7.03 60 time. Feet are active / quick as he works to square up balls and displays clean hands through a low approach. He needs to be more aggressive, play through balls through a low approach and present hands more out front to continue to improve defensive grade. Throws are accurate, but needs to build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, Garthoff shows a balanced / athletic approach with rhythm. Hands work through a level path and he makes consistent contact, mainly to the pull side. For hitting grades to continue to improve, he needs to work to keep hands inside the ball to utilize all fields. Power numbers will continue to increase as he learns to load and use his lower half more. Ryan has abilities with a lot of room to improve.
