Landon Derksen '27 Recruiting Profile

Baseball is my passion.  Ever since I started playing, I fell in love with the game.  I have the best teacher and example I could ever think of in my older brother. He played 2 years of JUCO ball at Rock Valley College, and 2 years of D2 ball at Minot State University.  He pushes me to be the best baseball player I can be, and without him I would never be the baseball player I am now.  

I am 5'4", 110 lbs, and righty/righty.  I have a high IQ and am quick on the base paths and in the field.  I do pitch also, mostly in relief.  My pitching strengths are placement, keeping the ball down, and throwing strikes.  

Some teams I play for are the Wisconsin Wolfpack in the Summer, and Steal House Baseball in the Fall.  I also play for my High School team, and American Legion team.  I attend Waupun High School, and am a 2027 graduate.  

As a player I am a leader, dedicated hard worker, mentally tough, an aggressive competitor, and put the team before myself.  I am also a leader off the field, being a strong student in the classroom, actively involved in my church, and also part of the "Warrior Mentorship Program" at school where I help mentor Middle School students.  I would be open to play for any collegiate level team that has a hunger to win, dedication to never quit, and high positive energy.  As an athlete, I am putting in the work now to achieve my dream and play college baseball.
