Ethan Ryals '25 Recruiting Profile

I work hard, don't quit & like competition, setting goals & being part of a team. On the field or off season I compete for the team & against myself.

My goal is to help the college team in their success to compete in a championship & represent the school with character. I will accomplish this by hard work, dedication, taking instruction from coaches, developing a strong team chemistry & having a positive attitude. My hitting goal is over .330 with a fielding percentage of over .950 in college. 

I will work toward my goals through hard work, being part of a close team, extra effort & having a positive attitude towards others. 

I see my greatest competition as myself. I respect coaches, their decisions, parents, fans, the other team & umpires. I appreciate the opportunity to play baseball & do not take for granted the ability each day to be on the field. I do have good sportsmanship because it's an opportunity to represent the school & myself in the best way. I treat others the way I would want to be treated.

I would like to become a baseball coach or work in that field one day because I enjoy being in the game that much. Every day, every workout is one step closer to improving & being what I can see now that is in the future. Currently my velo is 80 and 60 time is 7.1, showing progress as an incoming Sophmore. My goal before junior season starts is 84+ velo & 6.8 60 yard.
