Ryan
Renfroe

Positional Profile: RHP Some of the best velo potential in the 2023 class. Only has pitched for a year. Very athletic.
Body: 6-3, 200-pounds. Broad shouldered, long levered frame with lean strength throughout.
Delivery: All stretch delivery that starts with the backside stacked. Gradual coil to back hip, very smooth up+down+out with an athletic swing into landing with optimal stride. Patient over rubber and drives ball down hill. He has a unique approach angle due to a lean in his delivery that keeps him inside the ball and creates not only bore in on RHH, but a very steep plane down in the zone.
Arm Action: RH. The way his arm action connects with the largest muscles on the back side (post hand break) is elite mechanically, and they fire violently to the plate together post landing. It's a very clean, lengthy full circle OH AA that will only get more efficient over time. The arm speed is loud, as the ball comes out of the hand screaming.
FB: T92.8, 90-92 mph. Steep plane, bore. T2265, 2156 average rpm.
SL: 75-78 mph. Sharp sweeping action, some depth. T2347, 2333 average rpm.
CH: 83-84 mph. Fade with some heaviness T2010, 1961 average rpm.

GA Preseason All-State

Renfroe has been one of the most pleasant surprises of the fall/winter with two standout performances in our events. His Thomasville squad went to the 2A State Championship in 2022, and with his amazing jump in velocity they will surely be contenders again. Renfroe has only been pitching for one year, and is already putting up ridiculous velo numbers! Despite his minimal time on the mound, he already has one of the most explosive deliveries in the class. The way his arm action connects with the largest muscles on the back side (post hand break) is elite mechanically, and they fire violently to the plate together post landing. It's a very clean, lengthy full circle OH AA that will only get more efficient over time. The arm speed is loud, as the ball comes out of the hand screaming. This fall at our Campus Tour : Georgia Southern he was 88-90 T91 and put himself on the map with a sharp SLV in the 72-75 range up to 2500 rpm. Just two months later the FB is 89-92 T93!! He has a unique approach angle due to a lean in his delivery that keeps him inside the ball and creates not only bore in on RHH, but a very steep plane down in the zone. It’s different, but I feel it adds something unique and shouldn’t really be adjusted. In his uber athletic 6’3 200 lb frame and lightning quick arm speed, the sky is truly the limit on Renfroe’s velo potential. His sharp SLV is further developing into a SL now with a 3 mph increase in velo, sitting 75-78. The shape on the pitch is still similar, with sharp sweeping action and some depth. Only having a short time to develop the pitch, it surely has hammer potential in the future. Innings are what Renfroe needs most, and he will get that at Thomasville this year and at the next level. He has a chance to be a sneaky draft prospect this year before being committed to a college. Late bloomers are part of what make baseball great.

A long levered athlete with present strength and twitch, and much more to come. He’s an explosive mover with a raw delivery, but tons of arm talent. He showed the best velocity at the event up to 91.1, and his FB sat in the 88-90 range with gradual run out of the hand. Renfroe flashed a very sharp 72-75 SLV with sudden bite and some depth that he threw for strikes. The FB control will come as he learns to control his upper half as he works down the hill. Has a lengthy, well connected OH AA with nice lower half mechanics in a 6’3 195 frame. Along with controlling his upper half, compressing his arm path will take him 2 next level as a pitcher. He’ll be able to get more downward tilt on his breaking ball and create even more arm speed.
