North Jersey Eagles pitcher Ryan Remo has spent nearly his entire baseball life in the Professional Baseball Instruction organization.
With his dad Jeff Remo installed as one of the longest-serving PBI youth instructors, Remo drew attention from numerous Division I programs as an ace on the baseball school’s 17U North Jersey Eagles summer showcase team.
The younger Remo also spent countless hours training and throwing at the PBI indoor facilities under the watchful eye of his father, who doubled as his son’s head coach at Mahwah High School, and Doug Cinnella, PBI’s founder and Remo’s high school pitching coach.
And now, after wrapping up his freshman year as a right-handed pitcher at Fordham University, Remo is playing with the “big-time” North Jersey Eagles club in the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League.
The Mahwah native was unhittable July 9 at Overpeck Park, blanking the Lehigh Valley Catz 6-0 in the nightcap of a doubleheader to record the seven-inning no-hitter.
The feat is the first no-no in Remo’s collegiate career and marks the first in the Eagles’ eight-year history.
Following the end of his high school career, Ryan chose to take an offer from New York City’s Fordham University. Used exclusively in relief in his first 14 starts as a freshman, he made his first collegiate start on April 20 a memorable one.
