Ryan Howard is a former National League MVP and World Series champion who finished his career with an impressive 382 home runs. This legendary player had an impressive start to his baseball career when he became the rookie of the year in 2005, and was crowned the MVP 2006 when he hit major league-best 58 homers. He spent the next 12 years in professional baseball as a player for the Philadelphia Phillies. Today, Ryan pursues a new career as a venture capitalist and as a partner for SevetySix Capital, a sports-tech venture capitalist firm based in Philadelphia.

Over an incredible career on the field, Howard was crowned a three-time All Star, World Series Champion and MVP by the NL and NLCS. By the time of his retirement, he had broken several baseball records and even set new ones. It wasn’t an easy journey, though: he had to battle several injuries that set him on the bench for long periods during the season. Besides playing baseball, Ryan has co-authored six children’s books with his wife and Erwin Madrid.

Nicknamed “The Big Piece”, Howard holds numerous Phillies Franchise records. Many have tipped him as a future Hall of Famer, an accolade that would come as no surprise to fans of this exceptional sportsman and athlete.
