Personal Statement
My name is Gehrig Diemoz I am from a very small town in Southwest Wyoming, Rock Springs.
I am a 6'4 190lb RHP that is currently playing for the College of the Redwoods in Eureka California. I have been an infielder all my life but when I made it to JUCO both of my head coaches (Chris Brown SDCC) and Brad Morgan (College Of the Redwoods) decided that my arm needed to be on the mound and have tried their hardest to turn me into a pitcher. I have been told that I have a live arm, My fastball last season topped out at 88 in a night game against Los Medanos, but my fastball sits consistently from 82-85. I also throw a slider, curveball, and a split-finger as my changeup. I have been nose to the grindstone since last season because my coaches had looked at me as a "growing pitcher" or as an experiment, and that has motivated me to work hard this year and hopefully be a starter in the rotation this year. I have nothing but high hopes as the decision on the 2021 season approaches. I have been knocked down by the game of baseball many times and I chose to keep getting back up because this is where my heart resides. I aspire to be a great player, and an even better teammate. My goal in junior college is to make it to a division 1 four year school and I believe it is well within reach with dedication and a lot of hard work.
I have a very intense work ethic and thoroughly enjoy challenging myself to always improve. I am a very charismatic person, and an excellent teammate both on and off the field. I am a positive person, with outstanding character, having the best attitude through all situations is essential to success because attitude is everything. I have dreamt to be a professional baseball player as early as I can remember, and it would be nothing short of a dream for me to take the next step in getting there, at a good college, not just in athletics, but in education as well.
