Mason Schwalbach '21 Recruiting Profile

My name is Mason Schwalbach. I am a 4-sport varsity athlete (All-Conference or higher awards in 3) in one of the most competitive conferences in Illinois and the Midwest. I have always wanted to play baseball at the next level and I would like to be on a highly competitive college team. As a soph I started at C and was the 2/3 hitter on our varsity baseball team, and I led our team in hits/xbh/2b/rbi.  I was also a starter on our back to back state qualifying wrestling teams where I was an individual State Wrestling Qualifier at 220lbs, and I have been a varsity football starter since sophomore year on both sides of the ball.   I am a good leader vocally, and I lead by example. I can be an asset to any team at the plate hitting and behind it catching. I also have experience playing first and third base.

I would like to go to a college that offers me good academics and good opportunities to play. Academics are very important to me. While playing four sports, I maintain a 3.93 GPA, am a High Honors student, and scored a 32 on my ACT. Location would not be an issue because I am open to going to college anywhere that I feel will give me the best opportunities in the classroom and on the diamond. I am a contributing athlete in four sports and I feel that this will help me contribute even more when I focus just on baseball. I am a good leader on and off the field and I always encourage my teammates to do better. I am very coachable and already have great experience to help me at the next level.
