ALL STAR BASEBALL PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Ryan Guckin

All Star Baseball Academy is pleased to name Ryan Guckin of Avon Grove, PA as our Player Of The Week.  Ryan attends Avon Grove Middle School and is a 7th grader there who really enjoys baseball.  He is working hard at improving his skills and loves playing catcher.


"Ryan participated recently in the Coastal Carolina Coaches Camp as a 12 year old, soon to be 13 year old, and did an amazing job," said ASBA West Chester Manager Jake King.  "Coach Schnall of Coastal Carolina praised him throughout Saturday's workout.


He pushed himself throughout the day doing the drills that Coastal Carolina players do themselves and of course, they're much older.  After the long hard workout at the Coastal Carolina Camp here, he stayed and tried out for the U13 Elite team.  In total Ryan was working hard for 6 hours. Ryan Guckin is a hard worker, a real trooper!" said King.

"He really enjoyed the Coastal Carolina Camp and he is doing other camps with All Star this winter," said his Dad, Paul Guckin.  "Ryan also participated in the UVA and Notre Dame camps and he will also be doing the Penn State camp at West Chester in a few weeks.  He loves baseball and he really enjoys playing catcher.  That's his favorite position."

Ryan played well for the ASBA 13U tournament team this past season and is looking forward to more tournament action in 2011.  Congratulations, Ryan, on being named ASBA Player of the Week, and keep up your hard work!
