2013 Skillshow Hi...
USA Baseball 17U ...Personal Statement
My name is Ryan Sargent. I am a 2015 graduate at Jacobs High School in Algonquin, IL. I am 6 feet 2 inches, weigh 175 pounds, and run a 6.85 in the sixty yard dash. I am currently ranked 21st in Illinois (106 overall) on the Prep Baseball Report Rankings for the Class of 2015.
During my freshman year I was the starting center fielder on the sophomore baseball team and played on Jacobs' summer varsity team which took 3rd place in the state championship. As a sophomore, I played Varsity on a team that made it to the Super-Sectionals of the State Tournament. For summer, I played up an age level on the Illinois Indians 17U Tribe, which traveled all around the country to play the best competition around.
I also played basketball and play football. I was the starting point guard on the sophomore basketball team as a freshman and I'm currently in my 2nd year on the varsity football team playing wide receiver, kicker & defensive back.
I have worked hard to be the best at every sport I play, but before anything else I want to win. I could have 10 turnovers that game and miss every shot I take or go 0-3 with 3 strikeouts, but if my team wins the championship, I will be happy. I live for the pressure situations; making clutch baskets, getting that 2 out single to push in the tying run, or making the game winning interception, that is why I love to be on the field.
I want to attend a college that has an outstanding baseball program. That being said, I am looking for a school that has good academics along with a student body that bleeds the colors of their school. I am sure the right fit is out there for me.

- Member of Team Illinois. Competed in 3 games over the weekend against some of the top 2015 players from the Midwest. Per PrepBaseball Report.+ OF Ryan Sargent (Jacobs HS) delivered two hits against Ohio – a run-scoring single in the fifth and a sharp single to right field to lead off the seventh. The 6-foot-2 Sargent also ripped a shot right at the centerfielder in Game 1 and made a diving catch in centerfield. + OF Ryan Sargent (Jacobs HS) was one of the clear offensive standouts during the first two days. The 6-foot-2, 175-pounder barreled up top-level pitching all three games, showing excellent plate coverage and the ability to drive the ball to all fields. On Saturday, Sargent went 2-for-2 with a stand-up triple to right-center field. He also singled, stole a base, and scored a run to lead off the seventh inning. Sargent hit safely in his last four at-bats, and one of the two outs he made – a line-shot to centerfield – was arguably the hardest hit of the bunch.

- PBR Comment - Rated in the top 10 for underclass participants. Sargent is another eighth-grader who we’re sure you will be reading about a lot in the future. The 6-foot, 150-pound two-way prospect showed solid hands, defensive actions and an accurate arm in the field. At the plate he exhibited a smooth and balanced swing which found the barrel. Sargent’s level swing, with continued physical development, will look to gain strength and power over time. On the mound the two-way talent came from a high ¾ arm slot with an easy arm action
