Personal Statement
I have played baseball as long as I can remember and love the game. I grew up playing baseball with my friends, cousins, and schoolmates and learned a lot about the game from my Grandpop "Poppi" who played baseball while in the Army (101st Airborne). I have worked hard to be the best player I can every year.
I'm a 2020 (RHP/1B) grad from Archmere Academy. Archmere Academy is #97 in the National Ranking of Catholic High Schools. As of this marking period I hold a 2.86 GPA and my highest SAT score is 1180. Although my GPA appears underwhelming it is continuing on an upward trend as there were unaddressed problems my first few years of high school, these have been resolved and my grades have been rising since. In the Fall semester my GPA was 3.43.
I have played Varsity in my both my Freshman and Sophomore years as RHP and 1B. Last year I was in charge of our annual charity fundraiser and we raised over $1,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project. In addition, I was Diamond State-All Conference Honorable Mention -1B and selected to play on the Delaware North Team for the 2018 Carpenter Cup sponsored by the Phillies (https://www.mlb.com/phillies/community/youth-baseball-softball/carpenter-cup). I just recently played in the NTIS Team USA 16u for the North Atlantic Region on August 16-19 in Cary, NC (https://www.usabaseball.com/events/national-team-identification-series/about.).
I believe that because I have had to overcome adversity in my academic and sports career that I have a lot to offer my teammates both on and off the field.
