Ryan Boyd '17 Recruiting Profile

My goals that I am setting for myself are very high as I am trying to be a varsity baseball player while having a GPA of over 4.0. Right now my goal is under way as I have a 3.962 GPA. Also I am ranked 64 out of 498 and hoping to get in the top 25 by my senior year. When I get to college I am looking at majoring in either business management or accounting (financial).But that's not the only thing. I am a dedicated baseball player while playing football my freshman year as quarterback and golf the fall of my sophomore year, which is this year. No matter what sport that I try, I will always come back to baseball. I bleed the blood of a baseball player. The position that I am improving on is shortstop for my summer team as I was put at after the teams other shortstop quit. While he was the shortstop I was the ace of our pitching staff featuring a two-seam fastball, four-seam fastball, curveball, slider, and a splitter. When I'm not on the mound I'm in the outfield while throwing out over 70% of runners going home on my throw. I am also working on my infield skills as a shortstop. In the batting order as I was batting right handed I was the fifth or sixth hitter. I am a fun teammate to be around in the dough out, when it comes to having fun and being relaxed. But once on the field, I am zeroed in on the game and every pitch.
