Positional Profile: RHP Body: 6-2, 185-pounds. Average build, lean and lanky, squared shoulders. Delivery: In control over the rubber, medium knee lift, swings stride foot back past rubber, modest in-line stride, has lower body strength, repeatable for strike throwing ability. Arm Action: RH. Calm out of the glove, full extension with some depth toward 1st base side, high-3/4 slot. FB: T79, 75-78 mph. Controlled glove side well, worked edges of zone to start bats and seek soft contact, enough late wrinkle on arm side to get ground balls. CB: 68-69 mph. Feel for zone, smooth break though with late continuing roll through the zone, release is similar to FB adding to the usability. CH: 71-73 mph. Straight change with good finish, fade to bottom of zone.

Bay Area World Series 2020 (BAWS) - Uncommitted; Consistently has shown the ability to mix his pitches and change speeds within the zone and elicit soft contact. Understands the craft of pitching. If/when the velocity spikes upward, the 'pitcher' he already is will be greatly enhanced.
Lean and trim 6-foot-2, 185-pound body that fits on the mound. Multiple pitch (5) repertoire and showed feel to mix them all in, creating multiple looks with the different speeds and shapes. Pitchability and ability to pitch to contact, while effectively changing speeds look to be strengths of Ringenberg. Very composed delivery with good body control throughout. Starts with a closed set-up and with slight opening of front hip he gets online, with firm stable strike foot. Long-ish clean backside arm action with slight pause that can create some timing issues for a hitter. Frontside mechanics are clean and effective in allowing for repeatable release point, finishes in good fielding position. Fastball flashed arm side run with some down angle. Curveball smaller with somewhat slider type break and thrown with feel and late enough break to elicit soft contact or takes on the black. Knuckle ball with some dance down in the zone. Would be a fun pitcher to watch navigate through a line-up in a HS game.
5/31/19
BAWS 2019 - Large frame with width in shoulders and space to firm up; projectable build having room for added strength. Tall on the mound keeping hands at the waist and utilizing a high front knee; tall and fall style delivery gaining momentum down the hill as long arm reaches deep in shoulder before 3/4 release. FB 75 straight to upper half of the zone. CB 60 shallow with slow rolling action. CHG 69 straight off FB look. Frame looks the part and will need to firm up for jump in stuff.
