Personal Statement
I have been playing baseball since I was 5 years old, however I did not start pitching until I was 14. Since then on I have fallen in love with the position and the pressure that comes with it. Everyday I work harder to better myself and my team. My number one goal is to pitch at the college level and then see where that takes me. I believe I have what it takes to pitch at the next level.
