November 2015Personal Statement
As long as I can remember I have dreamed of playing baseball at the Division 1 level while securing a solid education. Every day I push myself to achieve more, get stronger, become better! I am solid leader, however my team and my team mates come first. Without each other we cannot succeed. I hope that through hard work and perseverance I will earn the privilege of playing college baseball.
Prep baseball Iowa and Perfect Game have ranked me as the #5 pitcher in the state and #7 overall as a player and am ranked 158th in position nationally. I am a two way player ( C& RHP) and am a strong consistent hitter, but my passion is on the mound.
So far I have been fortunate to have had success with baseball at the Varsity level as a starter since my freshman year and at the national level with Perfect Game Iowa Select. I am an excellent student, 6th in my class and maintain a 3.96 PA and am ranked 5th in my class. I know I have challenges ahead, nothing worthwhile ever comes easy.
My fall travel team is Perfect Game Select Iowa - Black.
I look forward to what the future holds....
