We look back at the top 10 most viewed profiles on our website from the year of 2014. Coming in at No. 9 on our list is No. 5 ranked 2015 Ryan Connolly of Douglas County. Below is our scouting profile of Connolly after we saw him pitch in the Slammers Labor Day Tourney.

Ryan Connolly, LHP, Douglas County: The 6-foot-4 left handed pitcher and Nebraska commit impressed in the Slammers Labor Day Tourney throwing 4 innings of shut-out baseball against PBR Colorado's Fall team. PBR loaded the bases twice with only 1 out only to see Connolly bear down and strike out the next two batters. Fastball was 85-86 touching 87 once. Had ability to pitch backwards when needed and compliments fast ball with late-breaking 72 mph curve ball with 10-5 break. Delivery is effortless coming from a high 11/5 arm slot. Had 7 k's in 4 innings of work and pitched better with runners on base.
