My name is Jake Mangiaratti and I would be honored to get the opportunity to play baseball at the next level. My love for the game of baseball started in tee-ball and hasn't diminished a bit since. Although my primary positions are 2nd base and Center Field, I can play a wide variety of positions if need be. Every season is baseball season for me. Whether it's fall ball, summer club, winter training, or spring season, to me it never gets old. I would make a good candidate for any team because I am a great teammate and very coachable. My self-discipline is demonstrated by my academics and work ethic in the weight room. During the pandemic I continued to work hard every day at home. My discipline and drive continued to grow. I am looking forward to the summer season playing for my club showcase team and hope to commit by the fall. I sincerely appreciate that you decided to read my personal statement and hope you will seriously consider me as candidate for your baseball program.
