RYAN RIPKEN Under Armour All-America 2011

Ryan Ripken 2012 1B 6'5 190 Hunt Valley, MD Gilman

Ryan Ripken (#20), son of Hall of Famer and baseball's all-time IronMan Cal Ripken, played first base and hit the six hole of the batting order. He was nimble around the bag at first base, and moved his 6-foot-5 inch frame with athletic actions. In addition to his baseball prowess, Ripken is a talented basketball player that has garnered Division I interest with some schools considering him for both sports. His left handed stroke showed increasing life over the course of the week in Chicago, capped by an impressive pre-game BP that consisted of rocket line drives with backspin through the gaps. He seems to be just scratching the surface of his potential, and with his big league pedigree he surely has a high ceiling.
