Tools: Hit: 50. Power: 40. Run: 60. Field: 50. Arm: 55.
Ryan is a 6-foot, 185-pound shortstop with a short and compact swing. He impressed at Baseball Factory’s All-American game at Globe Life Park in Texas, where he showed plus bat speed from the right side and an ability to hit hard line drives to all fields. Ryan didn’t show a ton of raw power, and he might never be a huge power threat, but he has a chance to be an above-average hitter thanks to his ability to make adjustments and a solid track record against quality competition. There’s a bit of swing and miss in his game that is somewhat surprising given how compact and direct Ryan’s swing has been. Still, his feel for the barrel and rhythm in the box should fare well against pitching at the next level. He’s a plus runner who gets out of the box quickly and has a quick first step that is an asset for him on the bases and in the field, where he has the tools to be a solid-average defender at shortstop with above-average arm strength. Ryan is committed to LSU and has the sort of well-rounded profile that could look extremely appealing with a few years of SEC production under his belt
