John Thrasher

I believe it was posted that Ritter was named 3rd Team Pre-season All American by D1 Baseball.

However, John Thrasher was also named a 3rd Team Pre-season All American by the NCBWA. Oddly, they did not put Ritter on any of their teams.

Congrats to Thrasher, look forward to seeing his speed on the bases.
