Personal Statement
My name is Braden Scott (Class of 2016) and I’m a 6’3” 170 pound Left Handed Pitcher. I am currently a sophomore at Shakamak High School in Jasonville, IN. Shakamak is known in Indiana for its very successful Class A baseball program. Even Though I’ve had success in my schools program, I have pushed myself to play beyond the comfort zone of my high school.
I’ve been a part of the Indiana Elite travel baseball team based out of Indianapolis, IN. We played and were successful in many state tournaments in places like Ohio and Kentucky. I was also selected as an Under Armor All-American for Baseball Factory and participated in one of their events in Bradenton, FL. I have a very strong passion for baseball and a good work ethic.
I have the mind-set that there is always something to improve on and there is always something I can do to make my team better. I understand that success takes a lot of hard work and dedication, commitment, and a team mind set. For the past 3 years, I’ve continued to work in the off-season with pitching and hitting coaches and plan to continue this for as long as my baseball career lasts. I’ve been told by many coaches that I am a very coachable athlete and welcome any suggestions for improvement. I am interested in the field of athletic therapy and hope my baseball abilities will help me build a valuable college education.
