The COVID-19 outbreak has wiped out spring prep sports. If you were one of players affected by this, especially a senior, you might be feeling sorry for yourself. After all, playing organized sports is an opportunity that shrinks significantly after high school.
For those talented enough to receive offers from Division I schools, however, this simply is a speed bump. Such is the case for prep baseball star Ryan Lynch, who signed with Notre Dame in November. Lynch, a senior at Penn High School, has taken this opportunity to prepare for the next level. WSBT-TV, the CBS/Fox affiliate in South Bend, did a report on Lynch and how he has kept in shape at a time when there aren’t any games to play.
Lynch is making the best of a bad situation and not dwelling on how he could have gone out before graduating from high school. If this is how he’s going about his business now, Link Jarrett is going to be lucky to have this kid under his wing. The best players overcome adversity, and Lynch is doing this in the face of an adversity everyone will remember long after it ends.
