Robert Rouse '18 Recruiting Profile

I am 16 years old, and graduate in 2018. I am a very outgoing and hardworking person.  I have been looking for a school where I can play college baseball. I Weigh 165, and stand 6 feet tall. I have a 3.08 GPA and have not taken the ACT or SAT yet.  I started training with a local coach, Jake Dixon, who had a College and Professional Baseball career but was forced to retire after an arm injury.  He opened a training facility, The Players Edge, where I studied weekly for about 3 years.  Through this training I developed sound mechanics in pitching, fielding, and hitting.  This hard work has been a huge part of my baseball success so far.  I have been playing baseball for the last ten years, normally on the age level above my age (example: being 10 years old and playing on the 11-12 year old team). I had to play up most of the time because there were not enough kids of my own age to field a team. I have always excelled at the next level. I never played on a travel team because the teams that were available played 60 games a summer or more and I was already playing about 30 games.  I led my town ball teams to 3 championships, a third and consolation place finish, including 2 undefeated seasons. My local summer baseball league always put together an all-star team to go play in a tournament against travel ball teams. We ended up winning 3rd place 3 times.  I am a leader on the field, and will always put forth my best effort, and am dedicated to baseball. It is a dream of mine to play college baseball.  I would like to go to school in the Midwest, or the South (Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi) for the nice climate and the bass fishing ( I am an avid bass angler and fish competitive tournaments). I am looking for a school of any size, with a good agricultural program,  D2, D3, NAIA, or JC. It would be even better if that school has a bass fishing team/ program. I wish to play college baseball, and go play at the highest level I can achieve.
