Denton Lord '20 Recruiting Profile

            My name is Denton Lord and I am a 6'2'', 195 lb. pitcher and first basemen. I have been playing baseball for as long as I remember and it has always been my goal to play it at the highest level I can. I am a hard worker in all aspects of my life. I have a 4.0 GPA at St. Andrew's School and take academics as seriously as I do athletics. In all my years in varsity baseball and my freshman year on the JV basketball team, I was awarded the Scholar Athlete Award for the team.

             At St. Andrew's School, I have always been a first baseman, but on the varsity level, my main contribution is through pitching. I have found playing time as a pitcher on the varsity level in both my freshman and sophomore years. In my sophomore year, I was able to play a key role in the bullpen and record multiple saves and other quality outings. I was also an honorable mention for All-Region for 2A SCISA and played in the FCA All Star Game in Savannah, Georgia. My junior year, I was moved to the top of the pitching rotation, where I was able to contribute greatly and pitched many crucial games for us, all the way up to the Final Four of the state playoffs. Over the season, I pitched 45 innings and was able to keep my Earned Run Average around 1.00 the whole season. I was named to All-Region for my pitching and first base, while also earning our team's Cy Young Award.

             I have had a decent high school career so far, but I still believe I have lots of room to get better as a player. I also know I still have a long way to go and have much more to work on. However, I genuinely love the game and plan to keep working to extend my baseball career as long as I possibly can.
