Joseph Shapiro '20 Recruiting Profile

Prep Baseball Rep...Personal Statement
I'm a left handed pitcher looking to play college baseball. I've played travel baseball and basketball since I was 9. In basketball I play guard in AAU and am also a varsity basketball player at Glenbrook South High School (~2800 total students). For baseball, I've played for the Glenview Blaze from 9-14U primarily as a pitcher and first baseman and then moved to Top Tier starting at 15U to help take my game to the next level and get great exposure playing against the best teams in the country. I moved up to varsity baseball at GBS High School as a sophomore and look forward to playing varsity this year. I love sports and competition, and like being able to make a difference for my teams and my teammates. I like to have my work ethic and performance speak for me on the field, and don't often get rattled or let my emotions show. I've pushed myself taking hard classes in high school to better prepare me for college life. My current interests are in math and business, and I'm taking honors accounting this year to try it out. My favorite baseball team is the Chicago Cubs, and my favorite players are Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, and Kyle Hendricks.
