Sam Petersen '21 Recruiting Profile

Hello, my name is Sam Petersen.  I have been playing baseball since I was five.  It is something that I am truly passionate about.  My dream is to continue playing at the highest level possible.  I would love to be a student athlete at a college where I can play baseball and receive a strong, quality education.  I currently attend a selective enrollment college preparatory high school where I have a 4.7 GPA.  I am a natural leader both on and off the field.  Every coach I have played for has said I am one of the most coachable athletes they have ever had.  I've been viewed as a utility player.  Most recently I have been playing outfield, where my speed and ability to track balls have been helpful assets.  I am committed to hard work and excelling in any position that my coach feels I would best help the team. 

Unfortunately, in September of 2018, I suffered from a stress fracture in my spine.  I have been resting and working with a physical therapist, who specializes in the spine, to get back to 100%.  I have been diligent in doing my given workouts, and can't wait to get back to playing again soon.
