Personal Statement

My name is Teagen Kasel. My goal is to play collegiate baseball at the highest level possible. I am an extremely hard working player with very versatile defensive skills. As a sophomore, I was voted to the 2022 MRAC 2nd team all conference team as a utility player. Offensively, I have shown the ability to hit for power, as well as execute the small game. I'm a great teammate, who is willing to do whatever is needed for the team to succeed. Off the field, I am very studious as displayed on my 3.85 grade point average.
