Personal Statement
My goal since I was old enough to know what it was, is to be a major league ball player. As I've gotten older, I and others have recognized my potential if I continue to put in the work(including former D1 coaches and players). I'm a good candidate for your team because I have the hitting abilities of elite players. A former Butler coach and another umpire told me I had the best, fluid swing they've seen at my age. One compared me to Tony Gwynn saying he and I had the best swings he'd ever seen. I've also been told I was a great catcher. I call a good game and I excel at blocking and getting the ball out of my glove and into my hand very quickly. I'm also very athletic, my vertical was measured at 36 inches and I run a consistent 4.7 40 yard dash. I've got a great build for my age and was told by my football coach to lift with the upperclassmen as a FRESHMAN. I'm in every advanced class possible and I rank in the top ten in my class academically. Baseball has been and always will be my passion. I'm never lacking heart when it comes to this game. I try to set the standard for my team and classmates and I see myself as a great leader. I'm fully confident I have what it takes mentally and physically.
