Ryan Ellis brings pro-style size and a late-blooming arm to CSUN
In the 2026 season, Ryan Ellis profiles as a 6-5, 205-pound redshirt junior right-hander with a power pitcher’s frame and a strong developmental backstory after two seasons at Grossmont College, where he logged a 3.92 ERA, 59 strikeouts, and two saves over 43.2 innings in 2025. His differentiators are velocity upside—he has reportedly touched 94 mph—and a family baseball pedigree that suggests real mound feel and competitiveness. He also has a compact CSUN sample, so the appeal is projection: a high-upside arm who could fit a staff looking for size, strike-throwing potential, and untapped ceiling.
