Personal Statement

Hello Coaches....this is an update to my Collegiate Baseball Career....

Since my high school graduation, I have spent the past two years playing with San Diego State University Aztecs baseball team (red shirted one year) and I have grown both physically and mentally throughout my D1 collegiate baseball career.  I have gained huge amounts of pitching experience and have developed my pitching skills (pitches and velocity) to be a solid competitor at Division 1 levels.   I am currently back in the college recruiting process, and ready to commit to a collegiate baseball program that will challenge my abilities and allow me to hone my baseball skills to the highest competitive levels.   I am looking for a fresh start, so I'll be attending Palomar Junior College in San Marcos CA for 2017/2018.    I look forward to playing collegiate baseball for you!!!!

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hello Coaches!

First, I am determined to play collegiate baseball.  My goal is to attend college as a student/athlete not only play baseball, but to get an education that will provide me the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities to be successful in life.  I am a dedicated team player and leader, both on and off the field and I always compete at the highest levels.  I am well liked, and very easy to get along with; I've gained the respect of my coaches and teammates. I currently play on my high school varsity team, and in the off season I play travel baseball for San Diego Scorpions 18U and Gonzales Sports Academy 18U teams.

To maintain my athleticism and stamina during the off season, I play Varsity water polo as a starter for my high school and play the set and 2 meter guard positions.  In my junior year, I was selected as Varsity Team Captain, and made First Team All League.  Our Varsity team went undefeated in league play (10-0).

I don't only put time into my athletics, but also in my academics.  I respect all my teachers, and I complete all my assignments so that I can get the best grades possible. I am an active participant in all of my classes.  For my junior year, I applied to and was accepted into EAGLE LINK, which is a leadership class designed to help and tutor students who may be struggling in academics.

My long term goal is to have a career in law enforcement.  I am currently affiliated with the California Tobacco Decoy Abatement Program where I work undercover with detectives and field agents from various law enforcement agencies.

Please check out my Perfect Game Player Profile at http://www.perfectgame.org/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=354397.   I qualified for the Perfect Game 2014 BCS Finals 17U "ALL TOURNAMENT LIST" with a "HIGH FOLLOW" status.
