Carson Paulik '26 Recruiting Profile

My name is Carson Paulik and I’m 5’11 170 lbs and I bat right-handed and throw right-handed and I will graduate in 2026. I’ve been playing baseball since I was just a little kid and from the first time I stepped onto the field to now, I feel excitement for the sport and love the energy, competitiveness, and every aspect of the game. I’ve been a Chicago Cubs fan my whole life and I look up to Kyle Hendricks on the mound. I love the way he stays calm and rarely shows his emotions and I think that is a very important thing when pitching. My goals are to play college ball and hopefully succeed and make it to the big leagues. Easier said than done, but I know I need to work my tail off now and in the upcoming years. I know I have the determination and drive to work harder and push myself to achieve my goals. On the field, I am a team player no matter what position I play. I can play at any position I am put in and am quick to adapt. My main positions are pitcher, 3^rd base and catcher. I appreciate the strategy and challenge when on the mound. I can use my knowledge and skill and it makes me work hard and stay focused. I stay in shape by being a multi-sport athlete and working hard in the off-season. I am consistently a starter/leader for my baseball, basketball, football and bowling teams. My teammates and I support each other on and off the field. Academics are just important to me and I carry a 4.00 GPA which helps me analyze live game situations and adjust accordingly.
