Brayden Kunberger '25 Recruiting Profile

PERSONAL STATEMENT

I have loved the game of baseball since I was very young. Some of my earliest memories are playing catch with my dad. As I grew up, so did my love and devotion to the game. Even as early as my first few years in little league, I set a goal to be the best baseball player that I could be.

I feel that I would be an important and productive addition to a college team. My coaches have consistently commented to me that I am easy to coach, a team leader, and I consistently show respect to my coaches and my team. Being goal-driven and a hard worker has always been a part of my nature.  I think my drive and enthusiasm are contagious; I have always tried, even when my team was down, to motivate and encourage. I would like nothing more than to bring this drive and attitude to a top-tier baseball program.

I feel that my character and competitive spirit set me apart. For example, I was recently nominated to attend a student leadership conference by my high school athletic director. 

I was a freshman starter in left field. I was able to quickly adjust to the varsity level by adjusting my batting approach to include more situational hitting such as bunting and slashing. In the field I was able to amply play the field with my older peers. I attribute this to good coaching and a proper and consistent diet and workout regimen.   

I have been an honor roll student for every high school semester. I currently have a 3.5 GPA and am interested in pursuing a degree in Physical Education. I constantly challenge myself to do my very best both on the field and in the classroom.   

In summary, I hope to attend a college where I can apply all of the skills I have been working to achieve, in an environment where I can excel and help others to do the same.
