Dear Coaches,
Hello my name is Nathan Chapman. I am in my Senior year at Salinas High School, graduating in May 2019, and I was recently named to the 2018 Perfect Game Pre-Season Underclass All-American Team, High Honorable Mention. Some facts you should know about me is that I'm left handed, I weigh 232 pounds and stand at six feet four inches. I'm the #1 pitcher on Varsity this year and also play outfield and first base. I am definitely interested in playing college baseball at a high level, and I hope to make a valuable addition to your team. I've played baseball since I was 4, and I have played in my local Pony league and travel teams since age 11. I will be an asset to your team because I know how to work hard, I am a natural leader, and will work to earn playing time. In my freshman year, I played on the freshman basketball team, and I quickly moved up to the JV baseball team, where I enjoyed great success. I pitched in 11 Varsity games my Sophomore year, 7 of them starts. I had a 3.99 ERA in 33.1 innings with only 19 earned runs allowed and I struck out 25. I helped our team earn a CCS bid with a win at Westmont High the week before WHS became 2017 D1 CCS champions. My Junior just finished this year and I was named to the 1st Team Monterey Bay League All Conference Team. I had a season long ERA of 2.62 and pitched 48 innings in 10 starts. I had 36 strikeouts and only 18 Earned Runs all year. I recently was ranked the #11 LHP in California by Perfect Game, and #110 ranked athlete in California for all positions. This past summer/fall I played with the CCB National Team 2019 and the Trosky Pro Scout Team and had an ERA of 0.75 for the Summer/Fall Schedule with 24 IP, 30Ks, 8 Hits and 6 walks. I hope this information helped you understand more about me, and I look forward to talking with you about opportunities on your team for 2019.
Sincerely,
Nathan Chapman
