He throws well, playing most of his games for MSU in right field. He runs very well, having the second most stolen bases for MSU with 11 last year. He has shown the ability to hit for power but also is an exceptional contact hitter. As freshman at MSU, he finished the year with the second hightest BA .345. He as the most starts in the outfield of any returning player this coming year. There is a very good opportunity for Ryan to flirt with the .400 mark this year which by no means is easy in the SEC. He is a player that lets his play do the talking for him which helps him to be one of the leaders on the MSU team. I have no doubt he will be successful at the next level.
