The Road to Becoming an Integral Part of K-State Baseball
Jun 14, 2024 | Baseball, Sports Extra
By: D. Scott Fritchen
It had not yet been four full days since Kansas State ended its season to No. 12 national seed Virginia in the Charlottesville Super Regional, and Ryan Connolly and the coaching staff were hot on the trail, placing phone calls to advisors and prospective players in hopes of securing more talent for the long ride back to the Regionals – check that, Super Regionals… check that, beyond the Super Regionals — to Omaha, site of the College World Series. Yes sir, perhaps a few big-time bats and cannon arms might help elevate the program to its highest peak in history next year or the year after. The coals are hot from the Wildcats' impressive 2024 season, arguably as hot as at any time in the program's 124-year history.
And it's time to keep the flames burning.
Connolly is a 37-year-old husband and father and has just completed his sixth season as the director of baseball operations at K-State, where he spearheads the program's recruiting efforts and manages the team's travel and summer camps. Currently, he's sitting on a tall chair at a tall table inside a suite at Tointon Family Stadium while visiting children play games on the baseball field below. He wears a gray t-shirt and removes the white backward ballcap, the one with the black Nike Swoosh, and places it on the table as he talks. It's 11:33 a.m. and Manhattan hasn't yet hit 93 degrees, but there's just something in the air on Wednesday that suggests heat is on the way.
"We're on the phone, man," Connolly says. "Really, that's what recruiting has turned into. It used to be (associate head coach) Austin Wates and (pitching coach) Rudy Darrow, man, we'd finish the season, they'd kiss their wife goodbye, and it's 'See you in August,' basically. It's tournaments to see high school kids. It's high school kids building your class.
"Now, you're on the phone more than anything. Agents and advisors, which kids are in the portal, seeing if they're interested, because you're trying to make sure you have a Super Regional roster for next year, too. Then there's the draft, and we have some fringe guys that have leveraged an opportunity to come back with eligibility but who have played themselves into great opportunities with professional baseball. You don't know what's going to happen and where they fall in the draft and if it's the right opportunity for them and their family, or if the better option is to come back and improve on their stock. Brady Day is an example. He came back this year, and it'll pay off for him. It's wait-and-see a little bit."
A sense of excitement permeates the baseball suite.
"We have a few freshmen, a few junior college transfers," Connolly says. "We just got a commitment from an ACC starter who's 100% a rotation arm, an experienced veteran who's won a ton of games. We were pretty fired up about that yesterday. He'll help solidify the departure of Owen Boerema. Jackson Wentworth, we'll see what happens. I think he's going to get the opportunity to go, so you have to prep for that. There'll be plenty of new faces next year, but that's just the nature of it now. When you have older guys in your program, they leave quicker. Then when you get good and you're winning games, guys are good and they're going to have those opportunities to leave, too. It's not like it was 10 years ago where you saw a majority of the same faces two or three years. You're going to have more and more fresh faces every year than what you're accustomed to, but that's just the nature of the landscape now."
The landscape featured rolling hills by the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers in Binghamton, New York, back when young Connolly played football, hockey and baseball. The lone child to Michael and Penny, Ryan was raised in an Irish-Catholic family on the east side, and he credits his work ethic, among other traits, to his father, a contractor and house builder, who coached his son's little league baseball, pee-wee football and hockey teams. Connolly says that he was born practically wearing a gold helmet. Notre Dame. That was always the goal and the dream.
"I lost my dad in 2002 when I was 15 to lung cancer, and he was a non-smoker," Connolly says. "Diagnosed at 37 and gone at 39. The Big Guy has plans for everybody, and that was His plan for him. He was an elite athlete and a star, and he impacted our community in so many ways. He was a blue-collar, hard-working man. I'm Michael E. Connolly's kid, and that's pretty cool."
He and his mother are co-chairs for the Michael E. Connolly Endowment for Lung Cancer Research through Upstate Medical in Syracuse, where Michael was treated for cancer. At this point, it's turned into an endowed professorship, and Penny and Ryan have raised over $1.5 million.
"Proudest thing I've ever done in my life is what we've accomplished with that," Connolly says.
Ryan was a three-sport athlete who starred at Binghamton High School in baseball and football while playing hockey with the Binghamton Junior Senators. He earned baseball all-state honors in 2005 as a senior captain for the conference champions and was the 12th-rated prospect in New York by Perfect Game/Baseball America. He was also a three-time all-division pick as a football quarterback, leading the team to the sectional title as a senior. And then he was a two-year captain with the Junior Senators hockey team.
He walked on as a catcher at Notre Dame.
"I went to a couple camps out there and developed a relationship and connection with head coach Paul Mainieri, and he said, 'I'm going to give you the opportunity to come,'" Connolly says. "Mom had to green-light that decision. All I needed was to get my foot in the door. That's what happened."
Connolly still remembers when it fully sank in that he was a student at Notre Dame. One Friday before a home football game, he exited DeBartolo Hall and the popular song around campus, "Here Come the Irish" played on and on.
"Not a cloud in the sky," he says. "I remember walking out of DeBart, and you could hear the song and see the Dome and that's when it hit me: 'I go to Notre Dame.' I won't forget that. People always say when you get there, you don't realize the power of that place until you leave and the impact it'll have on the rest of your life. It's true. But in that moment, I was like, 'I'm here.'"
He tore his right labrum and had surgery in October 2005, which prevented him from competing during his freshman season in 2006. He returned and moved to outfield his sophomore year and suffered another setback that limited his play during the 2007 fall season. Notre Dame baseball almanac called Connolly "a feisty competitor who can hit with power and rates as one of the team's fastest runners." His leadership stood out as well. He was named team co-captain in both 2009 and 2010. He batted .324 with 11 home runs in his senior year with the Fighting Irish.
"I was supposed to go to med school," Connolly says. "I was going to be a doctor. I just wasn't ready to give up the game yet."
The passion for coaching was born when he assumed an unofficial role as the team's fourth or fifth coach his junior season. It was while the team warmed up for a game at Guaranteed Rate Field, home of the Chicago White Sox, that assistant coach Scott Lawler told Connolly, "You're going to stand on this top rail at some point in your future."
It was Easter of Connolly's final year at Notre Dame that Penny Connolly gave her son her blessing to pursue his passion.
"We were sitting in the basilica, and I remember she was sitting in the pew behind me, and she asked, 'How are you going to survive without baseball?'" Connolly says. "But Penny Connolly was paying for me to go to Notre Dame to be a doctor, not spend five years at Notre Dame to be a coach. So, truth? I was going to go to med school until I got the green light from my mother.
"From there, I was going to attack coaching and see where it took me. If I lasted a year or three years, I could go back to school. I said, 'I'm going to try and make a run at this coaching gig, and if it bucks me, I'll go back to school.' But here we are 15 years later, and it hasn't kicked me off yet. The experience there at Notre Dame was one that a lot of people dream of, and I was very fortunate to have that for the rest of my life."
Pete Hughes entered Connolly's life when Connolly still played at Binghamton High School. Connolly finished a Friday football game, and Penny loaded up and drove her son to a baseball camp at Boston College before the sun rose on Chestnut Hill. You can imagine their shock when they discovered nobody was at Alumni Stadium. Turned out the camp had been moved to a minor-league ballpark in Brockton.
"Whoops," Connolly says. "I hustled but was late to a Pete Hughes baseball camp. He comes over and starts busting my chops, and that was my first interaction with him. I'm flustered, frazzled, late, and I went to batting practice and missed two or three balls. It was a bad showing. I got into the car and mom asked, 'How'd it go?' I said, 'I don't think it's going to happen at BC.'
"Yep, that was my first interaction with Pete Hughes, was at that camp."
Fast forward, and Connolly needed a job after graduating from Notre Dame. Notre Dame head coach Mik Aoki said, "One of my best friends in baseball might be hiring a volunteer at Virginia Tech. I'll reach out to him." Connolly phoned LSU head coach Paul Mainieri, and he told Connolly, "One of my best friends in baseball is hiring a volunteer. I'll reach out to him."
"This was in June — crickets," Connolly says. "Then I get a call in the middle of August."
"Ryan, Pete Hughes, Virginia Tech. What do you have going on?"
Silence.
"You got nothing?"
"Yeah, I got nothing."
"You wanna coach baseball?"
"Absolutely. Want me to come down and interview?"
"No interview. Do you want the stinking job or what?"
Connolly told his mother that he was moving to Blacksburg, Virginia, in 36 hours.
"It's the best thing that's ever happened to me professionally," Connolly says. "It ranks way up there in my life that I was able to hitch my wagon to that man. You know? I mean, what an opportunity, man. I got to jump on the wings of Pete Hughes and build my career under him and build my adult life under him. It's been HIM. He's a special human being. Phenomenal baseball coach. You don't win 800 games in a career without being an elite baseball coach. You never want to slight him in that area, but he's one of the top three human beings I've ever met in my life."
Connolly served as volunteer assistant coach at Virginia Tech in 2010-12. He served as assistant coach at Radford in 2012-13. He followed Hughes to Oklahoma as volunteer assistant coach and recruiting coordinator in 2013-15. He served as Virginia Tech assistant coach in 2015-17, and as its director of centralized recruiting in 2017-18.
It was during his stint at Oklahoma that Connolly met Ally, who became his wife. They were dating when Connolly took the assistant coach position at Virginia Tech in 2015. Somehow, he convinced her to follow him, and they married.
"We had a great run there, fell in love with the place, and stupid me, I bought a house," he says. "We closed on April 15. Memorial Day weekend my phone rings."
"Hey, it's looking like K-State. You in?"
"I'm going to have to run this by the boss. We just bought a house."
Connolly hung up the phone and turned to Ally.
"Who was that?"
"Pete."
"OK. So where are we moving?"
Connolly chuckles.
"She could've said I was out of my mind. But we wanted to be on that mission," he says. "It just so happened to be Kansas State. It could've been Timbuktu State and we would've followed him. I'm a better husband because I'm around Pete every day. I'm a better father. We're better parents because we're around Pete, Deb, and their family every day. Life doesn't present you that all the time. Our society, to find quality people, once-in-a-lifetime people who impact you every single day, it just doesn't happen. It was an easy decision to get back on board with him and be a part of building something special at Kansas State."
What impresses Connolly the most about Hughes?
"Integrity and loyalty," he replies. "Maybe sometimes to a fault. His character and navigating what we do professionally and how things have changed, his moral compass is still dead on. You watch the way he and his program impacts every single life that puts on a uniform, whether it's Kaelen Culpepper – the first-rounder – or the guy who had five at-bats all year. It doesn't matter. It's an all-in investment and love and care in developing them to be better than they were when they showed up, and that lasts for life. I've become Pete's right hand, I think, in a lot of ways, just with our relationship and with my role.
"With the expectations and necessity to win at a high level, in a lot of programs like ours, man, bodies can become like numbers, and that's never been the case with him. It's unique. It's special. The mission that he is on, yeah, it's to get to Omaha, but it's everything else, and that's why Ally and I dropped everything to come to Kansas State."
Which brings us to today. Connolly will grab his white ballcap and excuse himself in a few minutes. He has phone calls to make. Things to do.
"The iron is hot for us, and I think we're going to be able to get into some different living rooms from a recruiting standpoint now that we've proven we can do it and we're there," he says. "Momentum? It's off the charts. Along with it, though, comes a new set of expectations. We've reset the floor of our program in the last month, which is exactly what we've been trying to do for the last six years. Pretty exciting times. You talk about Omaha every single day and that's the standard and you have to talk it into existence every single day. Our goal isn't to win the Big 12. Our goal isn't to go to a Regional. Our goal is to go to Omaha, and if we get there, we've probably checked off some boxes along the way. Kansas State, the brand and who we are as a baseball program, now permeates a little differently nationally. We're two wins away from Omaha."
What has Connolly learned most about himself along the way?
"I don't know, man. Maybe I have a knack for surrounding myself with unbelievable people," he says. "That outweighs a lot of things, is being around quality people every day, being on the same mission with quality people every day, and just what you can accomplish when you do that. The people who work on that hallway are elite human beings that have priorities of life established the right way. I think I'm most proud of what we just accomplished in the last month is we did it the right way. It wasn't a quick fix. We stuck true to who we were. We've built this thing on a foundation of culture and integrity and quality people and working hard, and over time you win a few more games and you can get a little bit better talent, but we never wavered from what was priority No. 1 and that was people development and establishing culture in the development of young men through the game of baseball.
"We've gotten the program now to where we want it to be, and we've done it the right way, and we'll continue to do it the right way going forward. Hopefully we'll get there again next year or the year after that and break through."
He pauses.
"We just need to win those two games, man."
