Cole Sparkman '25 Recruiting Profile

My love of baseball started at a young age when my dad would take me to the local park and play catch with me. From that day on, baseball has been my passion. I pride myself on working hard and pushing myself to be the best baseball player I can be. I take the time to focus on the finer details, perfecting my technique to ensure I can play the game at the highest level. Throughout my career I have worked with an array of coaches, giving me a unique insight into the game. I can easily adapt to different coaches and playing styles, which makes wearing different hats and fitting into different teams a breeze. I am constantly challenging myself to outwork my opponents in order to become the best I can be. In addition to the physical lot, I have a strong mental toughness gained from playing this great game. I keep a cool head and clear mind when competing and never take anything for granted. I am naturally competitive and driven by the challenge of taking my game to the next level.

I am a strong team player, focusing my energies on the success of the team rather than individual accolades. I take pride in making sure each and every one of my teammates is recognized equally for the part they play in achieving our collective goals. I trust and believe in my team and my own capabilities, creating an unbeatable team spirit and a mindset of success. I am a leader amongst my peers and am keen to motivate others to pursue aspirations. Now, I am looking forward to taking all of my attributes and using them to the best of my abilities, with the aim of achieving greater successes in the future

I am a highly motivated and driven individual who has consistently achieved excellent academic results throughout my high school career. I have a current GPA of 3.45 and am aiming for a degree in medicine. I have devoted a great amount of time to my studies by taking full advantage of the various resources in my community. My commitment to my studies combined with an eagerness to learn about the field of medicine has set me on a path to academic success. I am confident that this academic journey will be beneficial in helping me to reach the ultimate goal of obtaining a medical degree. I spend my free time volunteering for my high school as a concession worker during sporting events as well as being an assistant coach for a 12u travel baseball team.
