Personal Statement
As a player my goal is to play baseball at the highest level, as long as I possibly can. As a student I would like to pursue a degree in business management/marketing.
Education in college is very important to me because it will help me achieve my goals for later in life. Playing at the college level will take sacrifice and dedication, but I am willing to go the extra mile. This is the type of player that I am. I am always willing to put in the extra work to achieve greater things. I am a hard-nosed, never-quit type of player. As a catcher one of the greatest skills to have is knowing the mental side of baseball--making sure your pitchers find a rhythm, calming them down, and knowing when and how to get them out of a jam. I feel that I do this very well and have always had a great rapport with my pitchers, and can apply that to a college team. Please feel free to contact me anytime.
Thank you,
Matt Karnes
