Personal Statement

 

 

I am looking for a Christian school, or a team with Christian values and expectations. 

Here are some things about me, I hope you enjoy.

Baseball is what I want to and will do for the rest of my life, recruiting me would be one of the best decisions you have made because nobody shares the same love and appreciation for the game that I do. 

I believe I possess the rawest talent that you will recruit. I started when I was 10. When my talent is refined there is no limit. Any coach that is willing to give me an opportunity will not regret that decision. 

I have loved baseball since the first day of practice, which was in the spring of 2009 when I was 9 years old. Until I got into High School, I did not think about baseball in college, I though about going straight to the big leagues. My brother and I would play in the backyard day and night until we were called in by my Grandmother. And the next day consisted of the same thing.

The one thing that will most definitely separate me from other recruits is my rawness and my burning passion to get better. Nothing lights my eyes up more than that first day of practice after a long winter. It is not possible to explain the feeling I get when I lace up My cleats and do the very thing I love.

In a college, I look for a 4 year D1 or high-level D2 program that will push me past my limits. This will only help me get better as a person.

The school that chooses me will not regret that decision. I personally feel that losing is a part of baseball only if you let it be. My goal is to push my team past their limits and comfort zone in order to ensure we are ready for every single game mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Thank you for reading this, I hope you enjoy my profile.

  • Unique among a group largely constructed of right-handed hitters, 2017 1B Damond Nixon (Baltimore, MD) and Shea Kramer (Vacaville, CA) stand out with different offerings both offensively and defensively. Nixon, a Mt. St. Mary’s commit, is a switch-hitter with a loose, rhythmic swing from both sides of the plate. He generates some loft power in his swing and is a versatile defender (we’ve also seen him at 3B and in the OF) with quick feet and sure hands. (Baseball Factory Report)- 01/15/2016 - Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament Nixon is a solid switch hitting, versatile player from this years 2016 class. He plays both OF and 1B very well defensively. In the OF he takes great angles, has a good first step and has a strong arm. At 1B, he shows bag awareness, plus range and makes accurate throws all over the diamond. Impressive offensively he shows a lot of pop, stays smooth, has great rhythm and extends through well from both sides of the plate. Strong at contact and proper extension on his finish create an impact type player at the next level. A force in a lineup at the next level with his ability to get favorable matchup as a switch hitter.
