Jamie Lawson '20 Recruiting Profile

My parents named me James, but when I was born my Grandma thought I was too cute to be a James, so she called me Jamie and it has stuck. I live with my mom in Vancouver BC. My favorite class in school right now is Science, we are learning about genetics, and I love it. I fell in love with the game after my Dad passed away, I was ten, and my Mom wanted to keep me busy. If I am not pitching I am at 1st base.

I know this spot is supposed to be about me, but I get uncomfortable talking about myself, so I am going to tell you a little bit about my mom and hopefully you will get a better idea of who I am from that.

My Mom is a hard working single parent,  who could have given up after 2 car accidents and 4 major sugeries, instead of giving up she found a job that puts a roof over our head, dinner on the table and keeps me playing baseball. She is my biggest fan and I am hers. She wants me to get an education and I want to keep playing ball. We both hope I can do them at the same time.
