Taylor Badger '22 Recruiting Profile

In life, I love pursuing my passions: baseball and computers.

Regarding baseball, I am an excellent infielder and hitter, and while I am not perfect, I am an incredibly hard worker and will rise to any competition. In the field, I have a good glove, though my feet can be a bit slow; so this season I have been experimenting with playing both third and first base, and it has been going very well! Playing a position other than second base has definitely put me out of my comfort zone, but I love the challenge and feel like I am improving every day. Hitting-wise, I have worked incredibly hard on my swing, and as a result, I am extremely proud of it. I might not be the biggest player, but my hitting mechanics make me a real threat at the plate. Luckily, I am still growing, and as I have started to grow into my body, some real power is coming through. Even still, I firstly pride myself first on being a team player in the box. Last season, I batted .333 with a .480 OBP.

In terms of academics, I want a school that challenges me and helps me grow as a person. I love coding and messing around with computers in my free time; as a result, I would love to be able to expand on my passions through higher education. Furthermore, I hope to study computer science so that I may enter the cybersecurity field after college.

With that, I'm sure I will be a great asset to your team in the future!
