Jacob Padilla '13 Recruiting Profile

My name is Jacob Padilla. I am 18 years old. I am 5'11", 180lbs. I run a 7.3 in the sixty yard dash and I am a left handed pither. I play for Victor Valley High School. I am a second year varsity player. I am currently a team captain. Since this season started, I have been listed as "MaxPreps" player of the week seven times. 

What has lead me to be the person and player I am today is my strong work ethic, both on and off the field. I am constantly putting in the extra work in the classroom, field, and at home to become the best person and baseball player I can be. I have showed to many coaches and players that I am very coachable and are willing to adabt and change to improve for myself and my team. 

One of the most important goals in my life is to achieve my college degree. By achievng my degree, not only will I accomplish my goal, but I know I will make everyone in my family proud, especially both of my parents. By having a college degree, I know "many doors of life" will open for me. Playing baseball in college, I believe holds the key that will open the first door of life.

Lastly, my father is a disabled veteran, which means my tuition will be free to any California State College or UC. system. If your team or budget is limited to who you can recruit, then consider looking at my profile. You can't lose.
