#17 Ryan Ginther Season 2022-23
LHP
Head coach Tim Corbin on Ginther: “Ryan’s abilities on the mound started to blossom and take off at the end of last year. He pitched some important innings down the stretch and earned his confidence. That confidence continued during the summer months in the NECBL and this past fall. We really like where he is headed. He keeps his process simple on the mound…he is fearless, and he attacks the hitter. He is maturing in all areas, noted by his best semester academically this past fall.”
