Kelin Manning '20 Recruiting Profile

I have many goals for my future life and college. Ever since I was a little kid I have always dreamed of playing college baseball or at least going to college that way I have a good degree on something for my adult life. My goals in life are to go to college for engineering or baseball because I love to do those things. I want to have something to fall back on outside of college that I love doing. My whole family as had the talent and skills to go to college baseball but they never went because of grades or other people stopping them. I am the last one of my brothers I want to play college ball because it has always been a dream to me and family goal.  "I love baseball more than anything" I love it because its fun, competitive, hard working, and you are never to good or to perfect in this game. I am different from other players in many ways. I am quiet and I stay to myself. I have a very good attitude on and off the field to everyone. When I get out or a bad call I don't show emotions because I know it will reflect back on me and I will have a other opportunity on what I messed up on. I always give it my best winning or loosing because a baseball game can change any minute. I am always picking my teammates up because there's no I in team, it takes a team to win baseball games. My work ethic is very high because you are never as good as you can get. I don't care what people think about me I just go out on the field and play my game. My parents number 1 rule is respect.I always have respect on and off the field to every player and team. I have always said  " Baseball is just like a video game if you mess up or don't do good don't get mad or sad because you can just hit the restart button and restart and fix the part you just messed up on".  

I want to go into engineering as well so that I have something to fall back on. I like working on things and engineering is something to do with your hands alot like baseball. It is something that interests me and that is what it takes for me to enjoy. To get into engineering and to play ball I know that grades have to be high. My parents especially my mom push me to be better in school and grades so that my dreams can come true.
