Pitcher Ryder Ryan next in the Huntersville to Chapel Hill pipeline

Posted Jul 18, 2013
It’s worked out well before, and Ryder Ryan is hoping it will again. When baseball players from northern Mecklenburg County have suited up for the Tar Heels in recent years, they’ve been a part of something pretty special, most notably trips to the College World Series. Ryan, a rising senior at North Meck High, last week committed to Carolina, where former Hopewell High standout Michael Russell is the starting shortstop and where former North Meck Viking Michael Cavasinni enjoyed a successful career as an outfielder, finishing up in 2010.
