Personal Statement
I am passionate about baseball and have enjoyed playing and watching the game my entire life. I appreciate that it takes hard work and dedication to be successful as a student and athlete and I am committed to doing my best at both. My hitting instructor is a former major league player and I have worked with him for the past 6 years to improve in all aspects of the game. I am a loyal and respectful player and teammate. I also enjoy teaching and have assisted younger players at the request of my coaches at various summer and winter camps for the past two years. My primary position is catcher and I love calling my own game and taking charge on the field. I am versatile and when needed have played 5 other infield and outfield positions for both my High School and Summer teams. I am a starter at Kingswood Oxford High School and have enjoyed success there as well as for my summer team the Connecticut Moose. I am a leader and have been named a captain for my upcoming senior season. I am interested in playing college baseball at an institution that combines excellent academics with a strong baseball program.
