Behind the plate, he works from a one-leg-out setup that keeps him low and quiet. This allows him to present pitches and steal strikes for his staff. His feet are clean, his transfer is smooth, and his arm strength shows up on throwdowns. He manages the running game and the position with poise.

At the plate, Ryle stands tall with the bat set behind his head before his load. He covers the low-and-away pitch and drives the ball with authority. His swing produces consistent gap-to-gap damage and profiles as a tough out as his approach continues to sharpen.

On the bases, he runs well and gets good jumps. Improving his secondary leads and continuing to refine his reads will make him even more dangerous once he’s on.
