Philip Martin '16 Recruiting Profile

Baseball has always been my life. I feel it has taught me much about myself and the type of man I am.  Throughout life I have given my all to the game.  At an early age I was not very good and had to work very hard to get where I am with my control and velocity.  I have made sure that my grades are up and good in challenging classes. Money was not always readily handy so I needed to get a job. It was a struggle. But I pushed myself to the brink and was able to accomplish what I needed to do. I was able to balance a full coarse load of AP classes, work, and a full schedule of baseball and my own baseball workouts.  I had much success in my senior season, holding a 1.00 ERA through 12 starts, earning 10 wins and only obtaining 1 loss through 76.2 innings pitched. Throughout the season I kept a high 80's Fastball. I had multiple scholarship offers from schools, but wanted to hold out for a school I really wanted to attend. So I will be attending Allen Hancock college
