ALL STAR BASEBALL ACADEMY PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Ryan Gerenser



This week’s All Star Baseball Academy Player of the Week Award goes to Ryan Gerenser for his performance on the mound the weekend of the 14th and 15th at Diamond Nation in Flemington, New Jersey.  Ryan plays for ASBA West Chester’s 12U Select Team.  He is in 6th grade at Avon Grove Intermediate.  Ryan is a pitcher, outfielder and 2nd baseman, and is coached by Ed Cieslak. 

In his only start of the weekend, Ryan was dominant.  In a 5-2 win over Pro Skills Baseball Academy, Ryan threw 6 innings for the complete game win.  He allowed just 2 hits and one walk, along with 2 unearned runs.  He tallied 5 strikeouts as well. 

Coach Cieslak was very impressed by Ryan’s performance on the mound, saying “He threw the ball well, and he was around the zone the whole time.  The boys were making plays behind him the whole time.  His biggest pitch of the game was a 3-2 changeup to strike out a big lefty in a crucial situation.”

Ryan’s father has been very impressed with Ryan’s coaches and All Star Baseball Academy.

“The interaction between the coaches and the kids has been phenomenal.  The coaches do a tremendous job of talking to the kids.  This is the best coaching I’ve seen thus far at this age.  They teach more than just baseball, they teach baseball etiquette.  The coaches gave Ryan a lot of confidence, and he’s thoroughly enjoyed his experience with ASBA.”

“It’s been a lot of fun,” Ryan said.  “I really like Coach Ed and Coach Jason.  They’ve helped me out a lot with my pitching.” 

Congratulations to Ryan for being named the ASBA Player of the Week.  We wish him and the ASBA West Chester 12U Select Team the best of luck with the rest of their season.  They are back in action the weekend of April 28th and 29th at Sports at the Beach in Georgetown, Delaware.
