Personal Statement
My aspirations are to play at the highest level possible while attaining a degree in a field that will prepare me for the future. I am a solid teammate with a strong work ethic and always willing to learn more.
I have had to work for everything... so I know the value of hard work and am not afraid of it. In school, I have had challenges with a small learning disability and when I was 10 was diagnosed as a Type 1 diabetic. Despite of all of this, I have never backed down from a challenge nor have I ever felt pity for the challenges I face. I have used these setbacks as strength to become a better student, person and baseball player.
I will work hard for you and am very coachable. I have a strong baseball IQ and am a quiet leader. Not a rah rah type but one that leads by example and encourages others when things don't go their way.
Thank you for your consideration and hope to speak with you very soon.
Antonio Silvas
