Former Canyon del Oro baseball standout Ryan Retz was the MVP of the Pecos League baseball playoffs for the Tucson Saguaros this summer, hitting .345 overall. He was then signed by the Kansas City T-Bones of the American Association, the top independent league in baseball. Retz hit .307 in his first 10 games in Kansas City, whose season ends Monday. In 2013, Retz was an all-Big South second team pick while playing for High Point.
