Curls Corner Hitting Lab
Ryan Curl, the founder and owner of Curls Corner Hitting Lab, is proud to represent both the Black and Jewish communities as a business owner dedicated to building athletes and promoting excellence. Ryan graduated from St. Francis DeSales High School in Columbus, Ohio, in 2008, where he was a standout baseball player. His junior and senior years were marked by All-State honors, and in his senior year, he was named the number one player in Ohio, earning a Gold Glove, Preseason All-American honors, and the prestigious Gatorade Player of the Year award.
Ryan’s success on the field led to being drafted out of high school by the Kansas City Royals in 2008. However, he chose to pursue his academic and athletic career at Miami University of Ohio, where he played for four years. His experience and knowledge grew as he began giving lessons during his sophomore year in college, helping young athletes improve their skills and develop their love for the game.
With a deep passion for baseball and softball, Ryan founded Curls Corner Hitting Lab to provide expert training for athletes of all ages and levels. His mission is to build athletes from the ground up, combining hard work, dedication, and the same values that propelled him to success. At Curls Corner, we are more than just a training facility – we are a family committed to helping you reach your full potential.
