2021 Pitcher/Catcher Showcase
Sean Ryniec is a 2023 C/RHP, 3B with a 6-0 175 lb. frame from Downers Grove, IL who attends Downers Grove North. Primary catcher with a narrow base, shows athletic and smooth lower half actions. Quick transfer and release, is explosive out of the chute and stays directional with his target. Could gain more ground with second base, showed solid receiving skills with room to improve. Secondary right-handed pitcher with a simple and repeatable operation, stays in line with the plate and utilizes drop and drive lower half mechanics. Is very comfortable with the curveball, started off the inning with it and pitched backwards during his outing, using it often. The curveball is a great pitch with 11/5 shape and late bite, moves a substantial amount. Also showed a changeup that he tunneled very well, did a nice job of adding and subtracting. Projects well on the mound with added velocity developments. Right-handed hitter with an open stance and knee to knee stride. Showed present bat speed and an aggressive approach, has a busy hand load. Slight upper cut swing, looks to elevate. Collapses the back side at times, connected for solid contact during his round and in live at bats. Good student.
