Aiden McPhail '24 Recruiting Profile

Hello,

I'm Aiden McPhail, and I'm beyond excited about life after high school baseball. I had always imagined myself as a collegiate athlete, therefore it is an honor to be given consideration by college coaches and programs. What factors affect me? There isn't just one person or thing that influences me.  My parents, relatives, instructors, and coaches have had a significant impact on me (across all sports). These influences have contributed to the person I am today. Around the age of ten, baseball captured my attention. I highly enjoy playing this game despite the endless practices, classes, and hours in the gym. I would classify and/or describe my skill sets as versatile. I still place a high value on adaptability because I am aware that positions can easily change from year to year. I also take use of my size to increase my strength and speed. The greatest sport to humble you is baseball. Every pitch, at-bat, game, etc. In this game, failure teaches you something new. Baseball has taught me some pretty straightforward lessons. Every time I have a bad moment, I have to flush it and forget about it, my coaches have always told me control what you can control. What happened before is irrelevant; what occurs next is what counts. In my daily life, I have been able to put these similar principles into practice. I am aware that my academic career will lay the groundwork for the rest of my life. My academic and athletic objectives are the same. I aspire to be great. I'm not quite certain what I want to major in when I go to college, but I do know that whatever I do will help me have a successful future. In conclusion, I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has invested time, energy, and support in helping me achieve both what I have and what I hope to achieve in the future.
