Ridler would do it all en route to the Mad Mavz taking home the Underclass Fall World Series title. In the box the LHH would arguably take one of his best swings of the weekend during bracket play on Sunday. As he fired one deep into CF for the 2 RBI double (98 EV). An easy mover through impact at an athletic 6-foot-1, 170-pounds with great leverage through the zone and accuracy in the barrel to match. Ridler also produced quality innings during the championship game where he ran the fastball up to 87. High-floor tools litter the profile for Ridler with plenty of projection throughout the profile on both sides of the ball.
