Alden Moore '20 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing and learning about baseball, since I was about two or three years old.  I would make my way into my brother’s practices and the coaches would let me do drills and work on skills with the team.  I love everything about baseball.  I study the history of baseball and follow the careers of hall of famers and I even recognize the great players that may not have won a ring or been inducted. I literally dream about baseball. Baseball keeps me in the zone, it is where I am my best me.

I work hard and do what needs to be done to advance my game.  I am a solid, dependable player.  I am a player, that keeps a team going, if we need to rally.  When I play, the crowd sits on the edge of their seats, expecting that I am going to make something happen.  I am friendly, mild-tempered, and let go of disappointments easily from play to play.  I put my knowledge to work on the field.        

I have been a starter on all of my teams.  My freshmen year, I pitched a shutout game against C. E. Byrd High School, a long-standing rival.  In the summer of 2018, I played in the Texas League and we won World Series runner-up.  This season, my first full year of playing varsity, I was named All-District-2^nd team.  I devote every off season to baseball and I am often called to pitch against our fiercest competitors.  As lead-off, I have patience at the plate.  I see pitches and share information with the team to help us win.  I lead my team by encouraging self-discipline and skill-building.  I can encourage my team to focus and rally us to a win.  I have a positive attitude and high expectations for myself and my team.

I would like to attend a school that has a high graduation rate and a high rate of placement for students after graduation.  My family intends to contribute to my cost of attendance based on the results of my FAFSA and any other aid that I may be awarded.  I would love to be a part of the world of sports forever, and so, I would like to study Broadcast Journalism.  Later in my career, I would like to analyze games and players, report on sports, or complete commentaries regarding baseball.

I want to play baseball at the highest level possible.  I believe I will be an asset to any school or coach that chooses me, at any level and I am open to attending the school that is the best fit for me, regardless of location.  My ultimate goal is to win a national championship in college and play in the MLB.
