Nathan Collier '22 Recruiting Profile

My earliest baseball memory is when I was four years old, determined to throw from the pitcher’s mound to my mom behind home plate.  A former minor leaguer driving by stopped and asked if he could give me a few pointers.  In that moment, my passion for the game connected with my desire to become a student of the game.  As I grew older, I read every pitching mechanics book in our local library and watched videos to learn minor adjustments that improved my velocity and ball movement.  I accepted feedback from coaches, and learned from other players.  By being focused and observant at practices and in game situations, I increased my baseball intelligence…one of my greatest strengths as a player today.

I am eager to keep learning and improving at the game I greatly enjoy.  I am a rising junior, with the desire to play the game that has shaped me into the person I am today at the highest level possible.  My integrity, character, discipline, and drive are traits that have helped me be successful on the field.  I look forward to bringing these qualities to my collegiate career and make an impact on your program.
