COLUMBIA, Mo- University of Missouri baseball recruit Ryan Rallo was tabbed as a preseason high school All-American by Collegiate Baseball Magazine today. Rallo, a senior at CBC High School in St. Louis, signed a letter of intent to play at Missouri in November.

Rallo, considered one of the top high school hitters in the midwest, has plenty of ties to the University of Missouri. His brother Mike is a junior on this year's club and the Tigers' top returning hitter. Mike was also voted as the team's co-captain. His cousins, Nick and John Rallo, both lettered at Missouri between 1983 and 1987.
