Senior Pitcher Ryan Jordan
We would like to congratulate senior pitcher Ryan Jordan on his commitment to continue his education and playing career at Wilson College. Ryan had several options, but chose Wilson for its academics and being able to play under former pro and head coach John Poss. Ryan worked very hard over the last year to improve himself and to get an opportunity to play at the college level. We are very happy for him and his family. We look forward to having him train at our Owings Mills facility this Winter to prepare for his senior season and having him play on our college Summer team.
