Ryan
Frano

LHP Ryan Frano (Glenbard East, 2025) is listed at 6-foot, 165-pounds with room to add on strength. The southpaw is an athletic mover throughout his delivery, working into a high leg-kick that coils into balance point before dropping into his lower-half down the mound. His arm is short out of the glove with a repeatable circle and plays from a ¾ release. Frano’s fastball sat right in the 79-80 mph range with a max IVB of 22, thrown for strikes consistently. He delivered his curveball at 68-70, playing with tight 1/7 shape - while his changeup played mostly straight through the zone with killed spin and some feel for the zone, 70-71 mph.
