Top-10 Profiles of 2023: No. 1 Ryan Sloan

December 29, 2023
By: Pete Hamot
Area Scout, Staff Writer

Currently the No. 1 ranked player in the state and No. 10 nationally, it's only fitting that RHP Ryan Sloan (York, 2024; Wake Forest commit) is our most-viewed profile of 2023. 

Sloan has long been regarded as one of the top prospects in the 2024 class, and his 2023 campaign only further cemented that assessment - starting with his electric showing at the Preseason All-State Upperclass this past winter:

From 3/2/23: “...One of the top arms in the country, Wake Forest commit RHP Ryan Sloan (York, 2024) lived up to his billing. Sloan showed off some premium arm strength out of a ¾ slot, working at 92-94 mph and touching 95 mph with a big running fastball. Sloan backs it up with a hard sweeping slider at 80-82 mph and revving at 2600-2700 rpm. His changeup rounds out an elite three-pitch mix that will likely put him in 2024 draft discussions come this summer”.

Sloan didn’t skip a beat and was as dominant as ever on the high school scene come springtime, earning himself PBR Illinois Third-Team All-State honors after he posted a 1.05 ERA in 40 innings with 78 strikeouts to just 12 walks. 

The Wake Forest commit continued to dominate on the summer circuit, particularly at the Area Code Games where he showed his usual mid-90s fastball to pair with his wipeout slider and bugs bunny changeup - and he kept rolling right into the fall at the inaugural Prep Baseball All-American Game:

From 9/23/23: “One of the most advanced arms in the 2024 class. Durable 6-foot-4, 220-pound frame that is going to continue to get stronger. Loose, longer arm action out of slight rocker step, Sloan gets downhill well with big extension and lower release point in a low three-quarters arm slot. Heavy mid-90s fastball that has been up to 97 with arm-side run and present plus command. Low-80s slider continues to improve with good tilt and sweep that plays well at the bottom of the zone, and will create swing-and-miss. Above-average changeup feel for a firm 85-88 mph offering that can get diabolical tumble at times. Innate feel to spin the fastball/slider (Avg. 2500+) while killing spin on the change. A distinct plan every time he takes the mound with premier stuff that only continues to get better. Strong early-rounds draft profile for the Wake Forest commit”.

Now going into his senior season, Sloan will surely look to keep raising his already growing draft stock and give himself the opportunity to be one of the earlier names called this coming July.
