Baseball brieflyThe son of Texas Rangers pitcher Nolan Ryan wants to play somewhere where he can, well, play.
Reid Ryan, who says he needs more playing time to improve, is considering transferring from the University of Texas to one of three other schools and wants a release from his UT baseball scholarship.The younger Ryan and his father said they were disappointed that there were not more opportunities to pitch during his freshman season with the Longhorns. Reid appeared in only two games for Texas last spring.
He is considering transferring to Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Blinn Junior College in Brenham, or Pepperdine University in California.
Currently, Reid is playing amateur baseball for the Anchorage Bucks in a summer league in Alaska.
"Right now, I need to pitch," he told the San Antonio Light. "I felt I needed to get in more innings if I wanted to improve."
