Top Performer Spotlight: 2021 Ryan Birchard (Auburn HS)
April 3, 2019
Over 600 players attended our Preseason All-State events spanning from Feb. 15 - Feb. 24. 100's of players caught the eyes of our professional scouting staff, all with dreams of playing baseball at the next-level. Over the course of the next few months I will be highlighting "Top Performer Spotlights" on players who really stood-out at the Preseason Events. Let's get started.

Top performer spotlight
CEVETTE'S QUICK HIT: Third time seeing Birchard at an event and he continues to develop and improve. All of his numbers across the board have gotten better and he is really starting to separate himself form the pack. Expect to see a decent climb up the 2021 rankings once they are updated this month here in NY. At the plate he swings from the left-side with a fluid barrel path with juice to his pull-side. On the mound there's above average FB velocity already at 86 mph with a feel for his 11/5 shape breaking ball. He will be on full display at the 2019 NYS Games.
