Welcome to Manly Ryan Kalish!

Ryan Kalish – the former Boston Red Sox Rookie of the Year (2010) – is now a member of the Manly Warringah Eagles.

As a standout High-school baseballer Ryan was drafted by the Red Sox in 2006. While raising through the minor leagues, he was twice voted the Red Sox Base-Stealer of the Month (June 2007 and April 2009) and was also named a New York–Penn League All-Star (2007), a Red Sox Minor League Player of the Month (July 2008), and the Red Sox Minor League Offensive Player of the Year (2009).

Ryan debuted in the major leagues in 2010, at 22 which saw him as the eighth-youngest ballplayer in the AL. He got his first major league hit with his first at bat, and later in the game notched his first RBI. A memorable start to his major league career

Here are some of his highlights in the majors.
