From Young Players to Rising Stars - We Work Hard, Make Adjustments, and Build Athletes from the Ground Up

Curl's Corner Hitting Lab

Ryan Curl, the founder and owner of Curl's 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.

Built From Passion

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 Curl's 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.

Built by Ryan Curl

Curl's Corner Hitting Lab was built from the ground up by Ryan Curl - former Gatorade Player of the Year, Rawlings Gold Glove winner, All-State selection, Kansas City Royals draft pick, and lifelong student of the game.

Real Development

Ryan does not just coach athletes - he invests in them, pushes them, believes in them, and helps them grow into complete players and confident young people.

This is not a franchise or a cookie-cutter program. This is real development, done the right way.

"My 9 year old has been with Ryan for about 3-4 months total. The change that has occurred in her hitting habits is amazing! I would recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a fundamental/mental approach to the game. Curls Corner really shined for my daughter when she understood the basics of her swing and started getting into more advanced concepts. Can't wait to watch my daughter grow with Ryan as her hitting coach."

"Even though my son is on the younger side, 6, Ryan has allowed him to come to any clinic he wants to and Ryan will take the time out to show my son Auggie a couple times to make sure he is understanding and to make sure he is doing the work correctly. Ryan never makes us or my son feel discouraged for sometimes not doing the same weights as everyone else. Ryan is encouraging, but also expects my kid to live up to his potential and he wants all the kids to push themselves."
