Trace Stringer '24 Recruiting Profile

Although I currently also play basketball and previously played football, baseball is the sport that I deeply love.  It was during my sophomore year that I realized I wanted to play college baseball.  Our team won the district, the region, and placed runner-up in the state!  The determination that enabled this success became a driving force in my life, pushing me to achieve more on the field.

One memorable instance that fuels my dedication occurred during the semi-finals of the state tournament.  A hard-hit ball was sailing towards the far-left field fence, a potential home run.  The thought of letting it sail over the fence never crossed my mind!  I was determined to catch it, even if it meant climbing the fence.  My adrenaline surged, I made the catch, robbing the hitter of a home run.  It was an incredible feeling that reinforced my love for the game and my commitment to excellence.

Off the field, I am a natural leader.  I channel my focus solely into sports and academics, refusing to engage in partying, drinking, vaping, or smoking.  I believe in keeping my body in peak physical condition, putting in the hard work and effort needed to excel in baseball.  This commitment is not just for myself, but to prove to my coaches and family that I have what it takes to succeed in college baseball and beyond.

Academics is also a strong focus in my life.  I am a 4.0 student, and I am committed to maintaining this level of excellence in my studies.  I understand the importance of a good education and I strive to do my very best.  I could not do any of these things without the strong support of my family, my coaches, and my church.  I am very blessed to have so many people helping me and supporting me along the way. 

My journey in baseball has been marked by love, determination, leadership, and commitment.  I look forward to continuing my journey on the field.  I will work tirelessly to prove to myself, my coaches, and my family that I can achieve my dreams on and off the field.
