Ryan Long '17 Recruiting Profile

~~My name is Ryan Long.  I am a young Sophomore (I just turned 15) at an academically rigorous college prep private high school (The Overlake School, in Redmond Wa). In addition to Baseball, I am also heavily involved in Drama and Choir and am thinking about pursuing a degree in Political Science and then Law.  I have a GPA of 3.7 and expect to work hard to maintain this through high school.  I will graduate in 2017.

I am currently 15 years old and am over 6’4” tall.  I have been told by my doctor I can expect to reach 6’6” to 6’9” in the next couple of years.

   I have been playing baseball since I was 8 years old and have been training at top facilities since I was 10.  This year I have been told I can expect to play Varsity Baseball for my high school and to play 15U select baseball in the Seattle Elite League for Ray Atkinson and the NW Bandits.  Last year I was the main starting pitcher for my select team and my JV High School Team.  I was often brought in at semi championship and championship games during tournaments and league play and often pitched 100 pitches throughout the seven innings I was in. At one of the facilities I train at, my fast ball was clocked at 82 mph and my crow hop at 87 mph.  When not pitching, I was still always playing.  I played 3rd base, 1st base, and outfield.  I hit around .400 in our 70 game season and had many doubles and triples.

    I am very interested in attending a top college or university.  It has been my dream to go a top college and to play baseball there.

Sincerely,

Ryan J. Long
