Baseball is my biggest passion in life. My life revolves around every level of the game, from my own playing to following every game in the Big Leagues. The more I play and study the game, the more respect I gain for the game of baseball. An opportunity to prolong my playing days by competing at the next level would be surreal to me.
I believe that my positive, encouraging attitude and character both on and off the field makes me a good fit for a program that emphasizes the importance of the team as a whole, not just individual players. The type of energy I bring to every one of my games-- whether I'm playing or not-- positively affects my teammates' morale and overall performance.
My athletic performance is very important to me, which is why I strive each day to work harder than I worked the day before. I am continuing to develop as a player and as a person, and I would be very grateful to be given the opportunity to attend a college and a baseball program that promotes both my athletic and personal growth.
