James Mata ‘23 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

My goal is to play basketball at the collegiate level and hopefully the MLB. I believe that both are possible for me. I'm not very tall, but that does not stop me from achieving my goals. I am a very dependable, coach's player. I listen and obey my coaches no matter what. 

Something that makes me stand out from other recruits is my grades and my will to get better. Throughout my years of school, I have successfully maintained A's and B's. In my free time I'm always finding a way to get better at baseball, whether is hitting off of a tee , conditioning myself, or participating at baseball camps. I am grateful that I have a family that will support in any decisions I make in life. As long as I continue to work hard and maintain good grades, the sky is the limit.
