Graham Padgitt '20 Recruiting Profile

My ideal college experience is one that helps me grow not only as an athlete, but also as a scholar and a citizen. I’ve always set high expectations for myself and my first few years of high school have presented opportunities for me to challenge myself in ways I hadn’t before. This is due to the school’s highly competitive baseball program, as well as it’s emphasis on excellence in academics. These factors are driving me to develop the tools to succeed as a student-athlete at the college level.

I consider myself fortunate to be a part of the St. Charles North baseball program because it’s helped me mature as a person and a player. The “team first” mindset is something that I quickly recognized is an important part of being a great player. Putting team success before individual glory is just one of the many values I’ve learned as a North Star. There’s nothing I love more than representing my school on the baseball field, and I’m passionate about the prospect of doing so at the college level. I'm eager to find the school where I can make strong contributions to the baseball program while continuing to grow in society and the classroom.
