6-4-3 Double Play

Playing Baseball The Ripken Way and The Oriole Way
The right things. The right way. The Ripken Way. Perhaps you’ve seen the slogan, but do you really know what it means? The Ripken Way and The Oriole Way are more than words, more than baseball techniques, skill development or a scouting process. They are professional and personal philosophies, instructions for how Ripken Baseball and the Baltimore Orioles expect their players to be coached and developed, both mentally and physically, on the field and off.
For Ryan Ripken, son of Cal Ripken, Jr., and a member of the Aberdeen IronBirds this season, The Ripken Way and The Oriole Way have always been a way of life. Ryan’s grandfather, Cal Sr., is one of the architects of the Baltimore Orioles’ The Oriole Way, a player development system that aims to cultivate The Whole Ball Player from the moment he joins the franchise.
