Chad Crosbie '16 Recruiting Profile

After a very successful freshman college season, I have decided to go after my dream of playing at the highest level of baseball possible. I played at UCSD, the #2 ranked D2 school in the nation where I hit .322. I was selected to the CCAA all tournament team and played for a national championship.  I made a tough decision to leave UCSD and attend my local junior college, Saddleback JC,  to begin the process of moving to Division 1.

 I have high expectations for myself. I work harder in school and in athletics than anyone I know. I continually strive to improve in all aspects of my life. I played football and baseball in high school where I maintained a 3.9 GPA. I stand out on the baseball field with my speed, athletic ability and power. 

In football, I was the team captain. I led my team to a CIF Championship. I was selected 1st Team All CIF as a Running Back. I led the league in rushing yards and was seventh in rushing in the entire county of Orange. I have played football since I was 7 years old and I feel the athletic ability I gained from playing football helps me in all aspects of baseball. 

In baseball, I play outfield. I ran a 6.59 60 yard dash. In high school, I was selected 1st Team All-League and 2nd Team All-CIF as an outfielder. I have competed in the USA Baseball NTIS event in Cary North Carolina for a spot on team USA. I was selected to tryout at the southern California Area code tryout for the Milwaukee Brewers Area Code team. I also play for the Tampa Bay Rays Scout team. My junior and season year I was one of the top hitters in all of CIF. 

I played for a prominent Club team named the So Cal Birds that is coached by a former MLB player. 

With my success in College and High school at this point, I will not slow down my training, practice or academics. It only makes me excited to work harder. What ever team, school or college I play for, I will work to make the team successful and help them win!
