June 2017Personal Statement
Dear Coaches and Staff,
I am a dedicated, hard worker, who will put all I've got into what ever obstacle I am to overcome. Baseball is my passion, and there isn't a living second that I'm not either thinking about it or preparing for my baseball future. I have given blood, sweat, and tears for this sport, and I will continue to do so for as long as I live. Baseball is my way of escape from the unpredictable world, as it offers me a sense of control and leadership. Being a catcher is significant to me as it requires knowledge of the game, leadership skills, devotion, strength, and an all or nothing mentality. Catching is the most important position on the field, and I give it my all to get it recognized as just that. I don't play for myself, I play for the game.
