Tyler Engquist '17 Recruiting Profile

Hello, my name is Tyler Engquist.   I am 6'0" 180 lbs catcher attending Patrick Henry High School, graduating year 2017.  I currently play for the California Baseball Academy (CBA) 18U Wave team.   While I am a starting catcher, I also play 1st base and outfield.   

I enjoy the leadership responsibility of being a catcher and being involved in every play.    For the majority of my travelball career I have played on older teams (played up), which made me push myself to succeed at a higher level.

In the classroom I like to challenge myself academically.  Each year I continue to push myself by taking more challenging classes than I had the prior year.   Playing baseball, especially as catcher, allows me to showcase my knowledge of the game and the mental challenges that come with it.   I have proven both by maintaining a 4.00 GPA my Junior year and earning the starting position as catcher in every team I have played on.   

At the collegiate level I am looking for a positive learning experience in the classroom, as well as a competitive team which supports one another on and off the field.   I am a very coachable player and am always looking and listening for ways to improve myself.
