'Crafty lefty' the newest addition to Kamloops baseball team

Another NorthPaw added

The Kamloops NorthPaws have announced another signee.

Colby Ring, a Canadian left-hander, has been added to the pitching staff, according to a news release from the newly formed baseball team. 

Ring is from Langley and is entering his sophomore season at the University of Antelope Valley after transferring from Johnson County Community College. 

His pitching skills are diverse. He throws a fastball, changeup and curveball, the team says. 

"I consider myself a crafty lefty. I'm not going to come out there and overpower anyone with a fastball. I like to work in all my pitches to keep hitters off balance," Ring states in the release. "Definitely something I can bring to Kamloops is a winning attitude and help out in any way I can when I step on the mound at Norbrock [Stadium] to hopefully win some games for the NorthPaws this summer."

He notes one of his best playing experiences was representing Canada at the Little League World Series with his Langley team in 2011. They finished fourth in the international bracket.

Ring will know a few NorthPaw faces; he's previously played with teammates Ryan Beitel and Tommy Green

"I don't think there's a better place to play in my opinion than up in Kamloops during the summertime. ... I'm looking forward to getting up there and competing with some of the best players around. I'm really excited," Ring adds.
