Ryan Maxwell '16 Recruiting Profile

My name is Ryan Maxwell. I am a 6'0 180lb catcher from Omaha, Nebraska. I will be graduating from Millard North High School in 2016. Millard North is a Class A school that is extremely high in athletic competitiveness and also rated by Newsweek last year as one of the top high schools in the nation. My current position is catcher, but have also played 2nd base, shortstop, and all outfield positions in select baseball and my freshmen year of high school. I would really like to play as a catcher in college but would be willing to play any position that would benefit my team. I currently do daily weight lifting in the high school weight room and many weekly visits to Strikezone where I hit in the cages, circuits, soft toss, catch bullpens, work on arm strength, and other various skills. One of my mentors over the years has been the owner of Strikezone, Joe Siwa who formerly played for the Minnesota Twins as a catcher. He is a great inspiration to me! I participate in both on and off season workouts with him and other members of the staff. I love baseball, and couldn't imagine my life without it, I cannot wait to be a part of a college team, and further my knowledge of the game.
