Ryan Busse: OF/RHP, (2026) Danbury, CT. 5-foot-10, 150-pound lean athletic frame. Solid above average in the box, the right-handed hitter had an exit velocity of 83 mph. (64.5 mph bat speed average). (19.1 mph hand speed average). Started in a balanced athletic stance with a tight load, then used a short small stride. Bat speed is quick, exhibits a short simple swing plane and good extension on his finish. Through his round he found lots of barrels with loud contact. Gap to gap line drive approach. Above average recorded an outfield position velocity of 77 mph; showed soft hands, aggressive in control feet, and a clean exchange. Movements laterally were athletic and he fields the ball out front. Had a high ¾ slot and a quick compact arm action with consistent accuracy to the base. Clocked a 60 time of 7.54 at the event. Projectable on the mound, showed a high ¾ arm angle and a longer arm action with developing arm speed. Tall-and-fall up-tempo type pitcher and uses some effort. Showed strong balance point with in line shoulders. Lands square with an athletic balanced finish. Sat with his fastball at 70-73 mph; has both sides of the plate control and sinking action. (Max spin 1723; Avg 1548). Had glove side control and slurvey early action on his 1/7 curveball (61-64). (Max spin 1722; Avg 1550). His changeup (68-69) shows fading action and arm side control.
