December 2014
March 2015Personal Statement
Hello my name is Luke Jaksich, and I am a LHP/ OF at Andrean High School in Merrillville, Indiana. I am currently ranked 44th in the Prep Baseball Report rankings for the 2016 class of Indiana.
My main goal is to find a college where I can get a good education and further my baseball career. I am currently a 3.65 student and I am working hard to maintain that status. I am a good candidate for a team because I am a hard worker, good teammate, and strive in fitting the best role on a team. My character is different from others because I love to play with tons of energy and play the game the way it is supposed to be played. I intend to work hard at everything that challenges me and be the best person, teammate, and student I can be.
It has always been a dream to play college baseball for a top program in the country and I want to make this dream a reality. I also want to get a good education in college and get a good job for years to come. I take pride in everything I do and I want to be the best at what I do.
