Joe Giovinco '16 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to play ball for a college committed to excellence both on the field and in the classroom.  I am an athlete who has lettered in two sports while maintaining a High Honors GPA.  Baseball is a game where my reactions make a difference in my play. My dad has taught me that the key to being successful is how I react to the things I can't control. Since I am young for my grade, I have always been smaller and have played with and against athletes who are one or two years older than me.  Still, I was able to play for highly completive teams.  As a member of the 2015 Varsity Seton Hall Preparatory baseball team, we ranked in the top 3 in the state of New Jersey.  I can play every position on the diamond. I am a utility player, and can do whatever my team needs me to do. I am a switch-hitter with a solid swing from both sides; with lefty being my dominant side. I owe my dedication and passion for the game to my grandpa – he taught the tradition of the game.  I enjoy the pressure and competition; the feeling of confidence when I am on the diamond. I want to play good ball for a good school.
