Oregon infielder Ryan Cooney has become one of the Ducks’ most reliable and impactful players, but his rise is anything but typical for an in‑state kid who once flew under the recruiting radar. In this conversation, he opens up about growing up in a Duck household, falling in love with baseball later than most, and grinding his way from an overlooked local prospect to a cornerstone of Oregon’s lineup. He also reflects on the unique pride of helping elevate Oregon baseball’s reputation — proving that elite players can come from right here in the Northwest. This episode dives into the mindset, maturity, and work ethic behind one of the Ducks’ breakout juniors.
