Noah Thomas '17 Recruiting Profile

To be blunt my collegiate goal is to get an outstanding education at a University that is unquestioned in its' academic reputation while significantly contributing to a successful, competitive, winning baseball program. I believe I have the skills and ability and discipline to find the correct balance between athletic achievement and educational excellence.

Academically I have challenged myself going into my senior year with a mix of Honors and AP courses, maintaining a good GPA while participating in Baseball. Outside of High School I have focused a great deal of time around competitive travel baseball. However, I made sure that I have time for my academics as well as the ability to coach children in the game of baseball.

I believe one of my best individual strengths is my ability to focus and work on personal game prep skills while being open to training and game tips from teammates and coaches. As an outfielder I am able to direct my fellow outfielders on places to be by being able to judge the hitter. I pride myself on my defensive outfield skills with good range and good footwork to the ball. Offensively, I have a great eye at the plate, with quick hands to complement my swing. I have excellent speed that I combine with good base running that helps create extra base opportunities and base stealing chances.

I am confident in my abilities and trust that my character will be a cornerstone that your baseball program can build on. I would encourage you to contact my coach Jay Blackwell, an outstanding coach and former Rutgers Hitting Coach. Thank you for your time.
