Local 2 spoke with Don Sanders Thursday morning about Reid Ryan.

"Reid is one of the most talented, focused and determined people I know," Sanders said. "He understands the game and knows what it takes to be successful. What he did in Corpus and Round Rock speaks for itself. He is as good as I've ever seen."
