Personal Statement
I am a 6'2" 180 pound athletic Junior. I have participated in a Prep Baseball Report Showcase for three consecutive years and most recently attended the Mitch Hannah Showcase in Terre Haute,IN. I attend Benton Consolidated High School in Benton, IL where I have a 5.0 GPA on a 5.0 scale. During the 2013 varsity season, I led Benton with a .417 batting average and was their #1 pitcher and shortstop as a Sophomore. I was fortunate to have been their #3 pitcher my Freshman year behind 2 Seniors who are now playing Division I baseball. Their leadership helped me achieve a great deal of success my Freshman year. As a Sophomore, I was named to both the All-Conference and All-South teams. My goal this year is to improve upon my last two varsity seasons.
I am open to any college in any state as long as the school is strong academically and has a competitive baseball program. I am undecided in my career direction, but am considering Engineering, Physical Therapy or Athletic Training. I am a competitive individual with an extreme love for baseball. It is my desire to use my baseball ability to assist in obtaining a quality education. It is important to me to have a school that has programs in place to assist students in maintaining good grades while balancing the responsibilities that come with participating on an athletic team.
