Personal Statement
Dear Coach ,
My name is Eric Petruzzi. I am a 2014 graduate of Brebeuf Jesuit High school in Indianapolis, Indiana. I am a 5’11”, 180 lbs. Outfielder/RHP.
I was born and raised in Carmel, Indiana, where winter is a bear to practice because of the snow and cold. I realized that I love the teams in the south because of the warmth. However, the East Coast and Midwest are great places to play as well. I don’t know much about colleges in the west, but I know they are very prestigious and would love the opportunity to visit them.
As far as baseball goes, I love the game. I used to wake up at 7am when I was a young kid, roll out of bed and have my uniform on and was ready for a 5pm game. I started playing in Left Field as a freshman at Brebeuf and ended my freshman year batting .417. As a sophomore, our team was the best of the best. I shattered hitting records at Brebeuf as our team made it to the State championship game against Western. Unfortunately, we lost, but it was one hell of an experience. My junior year my coach asked me to be the “captain” and lead the team with my attitude, work ethics and enthusiasm for the game. I moved to Center Field after my Sophomore year. I also played on many great club teams including the Indiana Bulls and Pony Express for summer ball. This past fall, I got a phone call saying I was invited to the Under Amour (Team One) tournament in Florida with the baseball factory. Team One had 12 players from eleven different states, as we were professionally scouted. I received a class four rating after the tournament, which means I am grouped in the Division 1 baseball player’s classes. (1-4). I was also named to the Pre-Season All America tournament in Arizona to play in an invite tournament only. Will Bach is my player development coordinator, he can be reached at Office: 800-641-4487 ext. 112 | Cell: 443-547-0047 or email Will Bach [email protected] if you would like a reference.
I have a player video at the website listed below. If you have the opportunity to review my film and written reviews about myself, I would greatly appreciate it. www.ericpetruzzi.com
I finished with a 3.0 GPA this semester and scored an overall 1430 on my SAT. I am very interested in studying Business and Education.
Thank you so much for your time,
Eric Petruzzi
