John Rylie Rowland '22 Recruiting Profile

I have played baseball since I was six years old, and I love it.  I have participated in many other activities and sports, but baseball is the sport I feel the most motivated and confident playing.  I have been on multiple all-star and travel teams, and have made so many friends through this sport.  I work hard during the off-season to be the best that I can be.  I feel most in control when I am pitching, and I feel I am a strong outfielder.  But, I can and will play any position a coach asks of me.  I have dreamed of playing college ball since I was a young, 9 year old pitcher.  I feel that I could handle the balance of playing and keeping my grades up, as I am playing multiple sports at my small private school while being a scholar athlete.  I also am very active in my church and in 4-H, where I am a State Ambassador for Healthy Living.  I enjoy participating in activities like VBS, AWANA (kid's program), flag football and one pitch softball, where I can use, coach and teach recreation and promote an active lifestyle.
