Jacob Mishkin '22 Recruiting Profile

I set the highest goals for myself because I believe in my potential. My game thrives on intensity, yet poise: Spontaneity, yet accuracy: Timeliness, yet exuberance. My character revolves around these attributes. They have been well developed and expressive throughout my life in all areas. I plan to represent my university accordingly.  I have many goals and aspirations for my future as a man and a ball player. But first I need to take baby steps. At my house I have a list l of a lot colleges that I would like to attend also I have a list of all my goals step my step and in detail. I would first like to preform well on varsity for the remaining 3 years. Then I would like to get at least one major D1 offer. But any division is fine with me if I don’t get D1. Then I would like to succeed there, while being a good leader on and off the field. After I would like to get drafted to any team. Just getting drafted by any team good or bad is a dream come true. Finally get called up with a long and successful career. I know all kids say they are a good leaders or have great leadership skills, although those are true with me, I also believe I am a great leader off the field and in the classroom for my classmates. I feel like I can excel in the classroom while also excelling on the diamond. Also I feel like I don’t take anything for granted you never know when something is going to happen like a career ending injury (knock on wood) or something else so you have to cherish every single moment with your coaches and teammates. I feel that even if I’m not close with some of them I feel that all of my teammates good or bad at baseball and enemy or not are my brothers at the end of the day. We go through everything together; the ups and the downs. My freshman season I got an injury that sidelined me for awhile and I missed being on the field with my brothers. This stupid injury motivated me and pushed me to become the ball player as well as man I am today.
