Brandon West '26 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing baseball since I was 5 years old and I am dedicated to the game. I look to play for a team where I can contribute to the success of the team and where I also see myself playing for 4 years. I am always open for constructive feedback so I can improve my game to get better. I am someone who is willing to do whatever is needed of me to benefit the team. I love working hard and getting better at what I love which makes me elevate my game to the next level. My passion for the game helps me overcome setbacks and adversity I face along the way. Whenever I deal with adversity, it makes me stronger and more willing to keep going. 

I think baseball really clicked for me when I started to play more competitive/club baseball and seeing what better competition is like. To put it into perspective, in my early years of club ball, we had lost in the championship game after an incredible season. It was a heart breaker and although it was a young age and seems to not mean much. It meant almost too much to me. The next year we came out even stronger and won the championship and that's when I knew it was a lot more than just a game to me.
