Personal Statement

Hi, my name is Tom Farrell. I am 6'2 and weigh 175. I attend St. Laurence High School in Burbank, Illinois.  I am enrolled in all honors courses.  I was brought up to varsity as a freshman and I am the starting first baseman and lead-off hitter. I was named to the Chicago Catholic League All-Conference baseball team and All-Area Team. I am currently ranked 23rd in Illinois for the class of 2017 by Prep Baseball Report.  I would love to play college baseball at a university that has great academics and a hard-working baseball program. If given the opportunity to play college baseball, I will work the hardest to improve my baseball and academic skills on the field, off the field and in the classroom.
