Ryan Mauch (LHP, 6'4", 190 - South Hills High School)

The only southpaw in the class, Mauch has been dominant the last two seasons at South Hills High, which is the alma mater of Dirtbags legend Jason Giambi. Mauch went 6-1 as a sophomore with a 2.49 ERA and was even better as an 11th grader. During his 2015 season, Mauch went a perfect 8-0 with an impressive 0.76 ERA in eight starts. He threw a pair of shutouts, striking out 38 batters in 55 innings with just 10 walks. Mauch also pitches for So Cal Birds and was a Perfect Game Underclassmen All-American Honorable Mention in 2015.

Ryan's father, Tom, pitched at Cal Poly Pomona and was a first round draft pick of the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1983 MLB Draft.

"Ryan is an athletic 6-foot-4 LHP that we expect to have an immediate impact as a freshman. He features a three-pitch arsenal (fastball, curveball and changeup) with the ability to command his secondary pitches. Ryan has a solid pitching foundation that comes from his father and also from a solid and successful high school program which will benefit in his transition to our level."
