Garret Thornton '17 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals involve obtaining an opportunity  to further my baseball career. I want to find a program that will help me further my knowledge of the game of baseball. I also want a coaching staff that wants to not only win games, but help me reach the next level of baseball if possible. At the same time I want to attend a college that will fill my academic goals as well as my baseball goals. I would like to obtain a degree in history at the college I attend. I would make a good candidate for any team because I'm a hard working individual that is a great team player. I'm also a competitive person that won't let anything stand in my way from helping my team win. My drive and my knowledge of the game is what makes me different from other recruits. I love to workout which also makes me different from other recruits because not everyone likes to workout but I know how important it is to better yourself, to be faster and stronger. Also, I'm different from other recruits because my drive to work goes beyond the baseball field, into the classroom. I learned that I have to study hard in order to get the grades that you want. I like to think of myself as good person that has good manners and doesn't do anything rude to other people. I believe that it's what you do when no one is looking is what makes who you are.
