2015 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My name is Niko Leontarakis. I am one of five children and the youngest in a set of triplets. I have a strong work ethic in both athletics and academics.
I was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 40th round of the 2017 MLB amateur draft, but did not sign. Since then, I have continued my development by training 6 days a week at Cressey Sports Performance in Jupiter, Florida. I am currently a sophomore at Palm Beach State College.
I am looking for a school where I can continue my development both on and off the field.
In closing, I would like to say that I have the work ethic, maturity, focus, determination, and strength of character to become a valuable asset to whichever program I am given the opportunity to be a part of.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me.
