Kyle Kosobucki '17 Recruiting Profile

Baseball has been my life for as long as I can remember. It has become a major part of my life and is not only a hobby for me, it’s a passion. In looking at me for your college, I believe I bring many positive qualities that set me apart from others.

Most notably, I have always had to work harder than the other guy because I do not possess prototypical height some coaches look for. Even though I do not possess the prototypical height, my desire and work ethic has allowed me to excel at every level of baseball I have played. I was one of very few ever Freshmen to be moved up to JV. The following year, I became one of very few Sophomores ever to be moved up to Varsity. As a Sophomore on Varsity I was a second string catcher, #3 pitcher, and starting DH. The summer of 2015, I tried out for and made the Wisconsin Rhinos Travel Baseball Team and excelled in this environment. I batted third, started at catcher, and led the team in home runs. Currently, I am the starting catcher for my high school and I will be playing travel baseball with the Wisconsin Mash this summer.

My experiences have taught me to become a leader, hard worker and good teammate. I would bring great character to the team. I feel that I am mentally and physically tough, and get along very well with my teammates and coaches. I have found that many times teammates come to me with questions, and I always do my best to help. I have a very positive attitude on and off the field and believe I am very coachable.

My ideal situation would be to play at the highest level of baseball possible in the mid-west, even if that means I may have to sit the bench for a year or two to improve my skills. However, I am open to other opportunities, colleges, and/or locations that would fit my goals for baseball and education.

It has always been my dream to play college baseball.
