Appo’s Steckline named state’s top player: Ryan Steckline of Appoquinimink High has been named the Gatorade Delaware Baseball Player of the Year.

The 6-foot-4, 215-pound senior left-handed pitcher and first baseman had led the Jaguars to a 16-3 record and a berth in the state tournament. Steckline posted a 3-2 record on the mound with one save, a 1.33 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 36.2 innings through 19 games.

He was batting .390 with 10 RBI and a .561 slugging percentage entering the postseason.

Steckline also volunteered locally to collect more than $20,000 worth of sporting goods to donate to athletes in need and was nominated for Nike’s I Am Sport award.

“Ryan Steckline is an outstanding player in all facets of the game,” said Appo coach Billy Cunningham. “He has been a consistent run producer in the middle of our lineup and has been our go-to pitcher in big games his entire career.”

Steckline has maintained a 3.5 GPA in the classroom. He has signed a National Letter of Intent to play baseball on scholarship at Monmouth University this fall.
