Injuries have forced the three-year starter at first base to move to rightfield where he has made no errors, and has thrown out five runners. I want to be known as a complete player, playing sound defense as well as being able to hit. He's a good base runner, he's got a good arm and runs well for a kid his size. He plays first base as well as anybody, and he's shown his versatility by playing the outfield this year. Brunner would like to get a shot at professional baseball this summer, and Heller thinks he deserves that chance.
Scouts call all the time.
To me it is a no-brainer, but I'm not the one making the call. I'm pumping him up every chance I get. I just think that somebody is going to like Ryan and will pick him.
