Joseph (Quinn) Pileski '25 Recruiting Profile

When I was in sixth grade, I was given the chance to go to Cooperstown with my very first travel ball team. I wasn’t the most athletic, but I still had the heart to learn the sport and get better. I wasn’t given the most play time in Cooperstown, but in one significant tense game when we were on the verge of forfeiting and our team was down by eight, I was given the opportunity to pitch. When I entered the game, we knew that if the other team scored two more, the umpires would call the game. Tensions were high when I was called in to pitch. I was so excited for the chance to get on the mound that I knew I would not let it go to waste. I pitched two scoreless innings and gave my team just a few extra innings of playtime. We still lost that game, but our morale was soaring through the sky. We ended that game with pride; we experienced that loss as if it were a win. At that point, when everyone was congratulating me, I knew I wanted to play baseball in college. My name is Quinn Pileski. I have been playing baseball for about ten and half years, and in the later half of those years, I have dreamed of playing college baseball. I want to go to a college to study engineering and continue my baseball career at an even more competitive level. I strive to be a competitive athlete and student every day by constantly learning and asking questions. In addition to my regular core classes, I make sure I learn different things in school, like music and engineering. I am very positive and push myself and my teammates to continue to work and get better. I hope you give me the chance to continue my development as a baseball player and my growth as a person and honor my aspiration with my academics.
