Triantafelos " Ty " Hitsos '18 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals and aspirations consist of graduating with a degree in aeronautical engineering which will enable me to design and test the technology of aircraft, and to play baseball. I know it is important to maintain at high GPA in school and if I can succeed in both school and athletics, I will have a very rewarding future. I am a good candidate for a team because I have played baseball since I was 6 years old, and have built long lasting relationships with both team mates and competitors. I work my hardest, focus on training, and am a leader on and off the field. I encourage the team, keep a positive mood, and lead by example. I push myself to always work harder, be healthy, and be reliable. I have never missed a practice or a game and pride myself in not ever being a quitter. I know I am different from other recruits in character because I am respectful. responsible, fair and play by the rules. I am compassionate, and like to volunteer in our community and be involved in school activities. Athletically, I am physically and mentally fit because I train and practice hard to continually refine my skills, strength, and conditioning. Academically, I study hard and realize that some subjects are difficult for me. Knowing that, I work hard, study more, and try my best. My family has always backed and supported  me in both sports and school. I have always felt very lucky to have their involvement and encouragement in every aspect of my life.
