Mark Copenhaver '17 Recruiting Profile

I love the game of baseball.  I wanted to play baseball before I could even say the word.  Watching my brother play was great but I couldn't wait until I was old enough.  I started playing at the age of four and have had a lot of failure and success along the way.  One of the hardest things growing up was moving from Texas to Tennessee.  I was in middle school and looking to find my way into what I loved.  Fortunately, I have been playing for Arlington High School since my freshman year with a great group of talented guys.  Last year we won second place at State Tournament.   Baseball has taught me that you never give up on what is important to you no matter what it is.  It has taught me that no matter what position, even on the bench, everyone is important to the team.  And that there is always room for improvement in everything you do.

I am a committed and very hard working student and athlete.  I have a positive attitude.   On or off the field I want to be a good example to others.  I enjoy computers and that will be my academic focus.  My family and faith are very important to me.  I want to play college baseball!  I would work hard for you and be an asset to your team!
