Ryker Waite Pronunciation
Head coach Tim Corbin on Waite: “Ryker is a baller. Plays at one speed. He loves to play and thrives in competitive environments. Tremendously mature for being the youngest kid on our team. He goes about business like an older player. He has middle infield skills and plays offense from both sides of the plate. He really took off this summer playing in the Florida Collegiate League. He will impact this program.”
