Personal Statement

Hi my name is Elijah Garay I am a

catcher/ middle infielder

attending Immanuel High school,

where I am currently a

Junior. I would like to

further my baseball/ academic

career at a competitive level that

pushes me to be not only the

best player on the field but also

the best student off the field. I

am a 3.6 gpa student who loves

to be challenged at whatever

tasks are thrown at them. The

game of baseball fell into my

hands at the age of 3 and I have

loved it ever since. I am a hard

working individual who does

whatever it takes to make sure

that nobody outworks me. My

competitiveness and leadership

is what sets me apart from

everyone else.

  • Elijah is a an athletic framed catcher in the 2024 class. Behind the plate, he continues to improve upon his skills and will keep moving them forward over the next two years as he gets closer heading the to next level. His blocking/receiving ability grade well at his young age. Shows polished technique behind the dish with the ability to move well laterally. As he firms up his receiving ability, the exchange will get quicker and the pop time will benefit from that. At the plate, he works inside the ball and uses the opposite field often. Can square up balls consistently with a smooth and on-plane swing. His line-drive approach will turn into gap-to-gap power as he matures over the next 2 years.
