Biographical Information

Ryan Ellis has been a minor league player and coach.

Ellis was picked by the Montréal Expos in the 28th round of the 2000 amateur draft. He hit .198/.284/.238 for the Vermont Expos that year as a backup infielder. Returning to Vermont in 2001, he batted .234/.307/.321, while playing every position at least once. He then went on to the independent leagues as a second baseman for the Washington Wild Things, hitting .260/.307/.322 in 2002. A player-coach in 2003, he improved to .294/.354/.373 in 31 games, then was 2 for 4 in the same role in 2004. He was a full-time coach in 2005.

In 2006, Ellis became first base coach for the Norfolk Tides in mid-season. He coached for the 2007 Binghamton Mets, 2008 Kingsport Mets and 2009-2010 Savannah Sand Gnats. He got his first managerial post with Savannah in 2011.

He managed the St. Lucie Mets from 2012 to 2014 and won Florida State League Manager of the Year in his first season. He became a hitting coordinator in the minors in 2015 and became that for the big league club in 2020. There were complaints made about Ellis' behavior around other employees in the organization, with him being described as being creepy and uncomfortable to be around as early as 2017 and 2018 but he was not fired until 2021 after he made inappropriate remarks at multiple women and sent them unwanted sexual messages on social media.
