I love the challenge of matching wits with the pitcher. I love the sound and feel of driving a ball hard into the gap. I love the comradery of the dugout. I love honing my swing in the cage. I love so many things about baseball that I am eager to continue my play into college, and maybe beyond. I have worked hard on my swing and I was gratified to hit my way into my high school’s starting lineup sophomore year – finishing first in OPS for the season and top 3 in AVG, OBP and SLG by the end of the season - and to help my high school win the North Coast Section championship for the first time my junior year.
As a dedicated student athlete, I am seeking a rigorous academic environment in college and plan to study International Relations and Economics. My high school is academically challenging and I am proud of my 3.8 GPA, especially since the teachers often say “a B at Athenian is an A anywhere else”.
Despite my achievements so far, things have not come easy for me. My freshman year, I mysteriously started losing weight (I dropped from 135 pounds to 120) and found it hard to focus in school, causing my grades to suffer. By spring I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease and was put on medication at the end of the school year. I have since committed myself to self-improvement both academically and athletically, and have caught my peers in the classroom, the weight-room and on the baseball diamond. I am now more driven than before and more confident that I can overcome whatever life throws my way - and crush it.
