Everything about Ritchie screams impact. It's a big, physical 6 foot 2 frame that only continues to get stronger every fall on campus. It's plus raw power and a swing geared towards lifting balls to the pull side and punishing fastballs left over the plate. With that approach comes some swing and miss, mainly troubles adjusting to breaking balls and expanding the zone. Those issues will need to be ironed out, but Ritchie looks like a guy who could ultimately grow into 25+ homerun output at the next level.
The defense isn't too shabby too, as Ritchie can hold his own in center field with good instincts and great athleticim despite his size. He'll likely end up in a corner outfielder at the next level, but should certaintly add value in some capacity with his defense. Ritchie has a chance to continue to elevate his stock in 2026, and if it all comes together we could be talking about a potential top 3 round talent.
