George Castillo '26 Recruiting Profile

Hello my name is George Jr. Castillo, I am a 15-year-old student-athlete attending Mark Keppel High School, and my journey through the world of baseball has been nothing short of remarkable. I am incredibly proud to say that I've been honored with the MVP award, bestowed with the responsibility of team captain, and recognized as a First Team All-American in the Almont League.

My love for the game was ignited at an early age, and it has been my driving force ever since. Every swing, every pitch, and every game is an opportunity to push myself to new heights, both as a player and a leader. Being named MVP was not just an individual achievement; it was a testament to the unwavering support of my teammates, coaches, and family who have helped me reach this point.

As team captain, I've embraced the role with a sense of responsibility and dedication. I believe in leading by example, always putting in the extra effort in practice, and encouraging my fellow teammates to do the same. I understand the importance of teamwork and unity in achieving success, and I'm committed to fostering a positive and cohesive team environment.

Earning First Team All-American honors in the Almont League was a dream come true, but it also reminds me that success is a journey, not a destination. I am constantly striving to improve, not only for myself but for my team as well. I am driven to achieve even greater success in the future, both on and off the field.

Baseball has taught me valuable life lessons about discipline, perseverance, and the power of teamwork. I am dedicated to my academics, and I understand that balancing sports and schoolwork is crucial to my overall development. With the unwavering support of my school, my coaches, and my family, I'm excited to see where this journey takes me in the years to come.

I look forward to continuing my growth as a student-athlete at Mark Keppel High School and am eager to see how my passion for baseball will shape my future. Thank you for your time and consideration.
