Awesome and good luck Ryley!!! My son was at Clemson a few weeks ago with his travel team and was fortunate enough to be one of the pitchers to pitch in that beautiful stadium

Awwwesome!
Super cool!
A tip of the cap to Ryley and his family....
Thats awesome. Congrats!!!
TY TPM! (Go Tigers) and thanks so much everyone, i really appreciate the kind words. Love this community. He got the call for the tryouts the day he reported to the Cape and left for Cary after his 1st start. He has made every cut so far. He is blessed, i keep telling him to soak it up and enjoy the ride. I'm in HHI on vacation with my family (except him) and i cannot tell you how proud i am this July 4th week to see him in the Red-White & Blue! #Merica

Just read this. Congrats to Ryley!
Congrats Ryley that is so cool! Went to the game last night (5-1 USA). Despite living near USA Baseball this is my first exposure to International Ball in person... very enjoyable but what a contrast in ball players.
-30-somethings vs. 19-20 YOs
-big momentum-type dudes vs. smaller speed demons
-curve ball dominant vs. fastball dominant
-measured play versus all out hustle on every play
The USA middle infield sparkled and there were several major league level plays... very nice! I highly recommend getting out to see them if they are ever in your neck of the woods.
You look at that roster and I think you have to wonder how they are to find teams that can play with them. They should be up against some AAA or even MLB teams.
The kid is coming home from the Cape and should be in tomorrow. What a run on Team USA, 15-5 and won all international series with Chinese Taipei, Cuba and Japan. also an incredible learning experience while there under Buckley and the other coaches. He will always be a part of Team USA Alumni and has made some great friends. I can't wait to see him.
Great stuff!

Congrats Shoveit! Sons roommate and best friend Steven Gingery is also on the team. As well as fellow Summer ball teammate Sean Wymer. That team is stacked. Japan series was a little tighter. ��
Congrats that's simply awesome.
