04/07/2013 - College PREP - Tallahassee, FL Ryan is a tall and lanky 3B/RHP who has some power at the plate. This right-handed hitter displays a square setup and simple approach. He is patient and tracks the ball into the zone. By getting his lower 1/2 through, it helps to increase his power at the plate. Defensively, Sims shows good pre-pitch footwork and gets into a square fielding position, fielding the ball out in front. Increasing his arm-strength through a long-toss program will only benefit him at 3rd. On the mound, this RHP has a 3-pitch mix and delivers from an over-the-top arm slot. He maintains good temp and works downhill, driving off of the rubber. FB ranges from 73-75 mph and shows some downward movement. CB is best off-speed and shows 12/6 shape and gradual break. Ryan projects best at 3B where he should get some looks to advance his game to the next level thanks to his offensive abilities.
