Mitchell List '16 Recruiting Profile

My name is Mitchell List and I am a high school junior in Wichita, Kansas. I graduate in 2016, and my primary positions are pitching and 3rd base.  I grew up playing baseball, football, and basketball. I’m still playing all three sports at the varsity level in high school, but I am very interested in the game of baseball.   One of my goals is to be able to play at the college level once I graduate from high school.   Baseball and basketball keep me busy during the summer and I try to work very hard on my own.  My focus is on academics and I plan to study business once I get into college.  I hope to go to the best school I can academically, while pursuing my dream of college baseball.

I am 6'3 and right around 230 lbs.  I am a big encourager on the team and believe that negativity gets you nowhere.  Respect and integrity are also very important to me both on and off the field.  I am quick on my feet and can react quickly to wherever the ball is hit.  One of my other strengths is my hitting ability.  I absolutely love hitting the ball.  I have batted the 4 spot and occasionally the 3 spot every year I have played.  I finished my sophomore year batting .513.  I have played and started on the varsity level since I was a freshman.  Both years I attained the title of All-League, and was voted 2nd team all-state sophomore year.

The last thing I want you to know, is that I am committed.  I work hard and strive to be the best player on the field, and a good Christian example off the field.  Faith is a big part of my life and it has always been that way.  I care about my faith and also in others opinions of me.  I know college baseball is the next step that I want to take in my life.  I would like to thank you for your time, and hope you learned a few things about me!
