Lucas Slingerland '17 Recruiting Profile

Growing up, baseball was always a huge part of life for me. However, not until the summer before my junior year did I know what I wanted to study in college. My dad would always pressure me into looking in to what I wanted to study and the only thing that came to mind was baseball. So looking into that, I found that in order to work within baseball I should study Sports Management. In college my goal is to get my degree in Sports Management. My cumulative GPA is 3.9, my core GPA is 3.95 and my weighted GPA is 3.96. Throughout high school I was the utility guy, who would always be in the starting lineup and bat at the top of the order. I can play every position except pitcher, very well. My favorite two positions, however, are center field and second base. Being the utility guy, gave me the chance to learn multiple positions and know what to do before the ball is hit. I am a very coachable person, very vocal on the field and always a leader on and off the field.
