Personal Statement
I have been playing baseball since I was 4 years old. I have also played football, basketball and lacrosse, but my true passion is for baseball. I have stopped playing all other sports to focus on baseball and strength training. I currently work out almost 5-7 days a week working on strength and conditioning along with my baseball skills. I am a strong team player and give 110% in the classroom and on the field. I have been to a number of catching specific training camps, continuously working on improving my footwork, catch to release time along with upper body strength to get my pop times as fast as they can be (currently - 1.86 seconds is best, but am consistently in 1.95 -2.05) I participate in high school spring, summer and fall travel teams, most recently as an integral part of the Colorado Rockies Scout Team. (Head Coach - Wayne Doland)
I work very hard at the academic side of my high school career as well. I am currently taking multiple honors courses and have a 4.33 weighted GPA being tied for 1st in my class out of 478 students at Ralston Valley High School. I work hard to balance academic, athletic and social life proving that I can be a successful student athlete. If given an opportunity I know I will be an asset to your School AND Baseball Team.
