Ryan Bushey begins his first season as a graduate student on head coach Bill Vasko's staff in 2025-26.
Bushey was a four-year infielder at Mount Aloysius College, where he played in the heart of the infield for a Mounties program that consistently competed at the top of the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC). As a freshman in 2022, he contributed to a Mount Aloysius team that won the AMCC Championship and advanced to the NCAA Division III Regional after going 27–15 overall and battling through the conference tournament to clinch the league title.
Across his career, Bushey established himself as a competitive hitter and reliable defender. In AMCC conference play, he hit .365 with 19 hits, nine RBIs, and a .421 on-base percentage in league action, showing the ability to compete offensively against top arms in the conference. He also logged over 150 defensive chances in the infield with a steady fielding percentage.
By the end of his upperclassman seasons, Bushey had earned All-AMCC recognition, helping lead a team that produced multiple all-conference selections for Mount Aloysius.
In addition to his college career, Bushey spent his summers playing in Johnstown's long-running AAABA (All American Amateur Baseball Association) environment, a respected wood-bat collegiate summer league. At Saint Francis, Bushey primarily works on infield play, base running, and hitting. Bushey is a native of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and a graduate of Derry Area High School.
