Personal Statement

I am Austin Oliver, a Junior from Elkton Maryland with high goals for my Academic and Baseball career. I am a results driven individual that consistently looks at the metrics to understand what is going well, and needs more work. Just as I look at getting A's in the classroom, I look at getting great hits, throwing out other players, and pitching few as many pitches per inning. I am looking for a University that offers a program in which I want to study, but also has a great baseball program.
