James Epplen '18 Recruiting Profile

    I am a 6'1 outfielder from Edgewood, KY that weighs 175 lbs and is able to run a 4.16 from home to first and a 6.65 60 yard dash. I have started on the Saint Henry District High school varsity  team for 3 years and been apart of the first conference championship in 4 years as well as the first regional win in 5 years. I was able to contribute to my team in both those victories. I have a 3.4 GPA and a 23 ACT score. 

    I am looking for a college that I can find a medium between school and baseball. I want to find the college that is the overall best fit for me. I prefer schools on the east of the Mississippi but I will always keep an open mind towards colleges west of the Mississippi. I would like to attend a college that has an great academic reputation in the field accounting and business. I want to attend a school where I am able to contribute the most inside the classroom as well as on the field with my teammates. 

    I am a good leader, named team Captain as a junior,  and look to always drive the team to compete to the best of their ability. I always work hard for what I want. I understand nothing is given in life and you have to work for what you want. It always been my dream to play baseball at the collegiate level and I hope that I am able to find the best fit inside the classroom and on the field!!
