NEWPORT, R.I. – Sophomore Ryan Kelly (Waldwick, N.J.) followed up his impressive freshman year on the Salve Regina baseball team with an equally impressive summer as part of the Futures League and was recognized as a Futures League Top-10 Prospect. 

Kelly was quite productive on the field for the Torrington Titans this summer. The outfielder hit .326 with 26 hits, nine for extra bases. Kelly stole 11 bases in just 23 games for the Titans.
