2015 Highlights
July 2016Personal Statement
Hi, my name is Matt Smith. I am currently a 16 year old junior at Sequoia High School. I am a starter on the varsity team positioned as a right handed pitcher, third baseman, and a shortstop.
My GPA is a 3.3. I am enrolled in the history IB Program. Academics are the number one focus but baseball is my passion. My goal is to continue excelling in the classroom, on the field, and playing through my college years.
Baseball started for me as a 4 year old playing T-Ball. This lead me to play in several all star games, super bowl teams, District Teams leading to a week long tournament in Cooperstown, New York. Competing in the Golden Arm, I placed 4th out of 1,600 players from around the nation. It was at this time that I knew my love for the game. I have received recognition, multiple awards, and compliments on and off the field over the years.
It has been my dream to play baseball for my high school and college. I am a very hard worker, I make every practice, always prompt, and a team player. Completely dedicated to my academics, my game, my family, and my community.
