Colby Lee '23 Recruiting Profile

Hello Coaches and thank you for reviewing  my NCSA profile. 

Since I was about 6 I have been playing baseball and I always wanted to compete at the collegiate level. I am primarily a right hand pitcher, but all through little league, Middle School and even into High School I have been able to go into any position that was needed to be filled and play it well.   My sophomore year I was a floater so I played on two teams JV2 and JV.  The JV2  teams needed a catcher and even though I hadn’t caught in years I stepped up and caught 6 of the games during the season.  I'm both physically and mentally skilled to  play any position.  I can think quickly as to were the best play is.

 I consider myself an off speed pitcher that has a variety  pitches under my belt.  During most games I like to cycle pitch using my 4-seam, circle change, slider, and splitter.    I am known to play aggressive and can be a little bit chirpy and chatting up the other team.  Nothing disrespectful, just some good old sportsman banter.   

 My Freshman year playing fall ball for my Wakegield high school team I pitched an immaculate inning, I have also pitched a no hitter game playing for Canes Northeast U15 and I was award the MVP at Firecracker Sports Clash of the Colonies Tournament July 2021.  I'm known to have an arm that doesn’t quit, I have pitched back to back full games during a few tournaments pitching almost 250 pitches. That may sound like a lot  to pull that off, but with icing, Tylenol and generally care for my shoulder I'm able to prevent injury.   

Covid-19 was hard academically for me not being in school fulltime as  I'm a visual learn, so learning mostly on a computer was not the best for me.  I was very prosperous student before Covid and I have returned to that student during by Junior year making honor roll each term moving my GPA from a 2.96 to a 3.12.  

Spring of 2021 I started working at a local ice cream shop where my boss has said “I’m polite, smart, have great work ethic and common sense”.  Prior to that I had a paper route for 4 years.  I also believe it is important to give back to my community, so for the past year I have been volunteering at my Catholic Church's monthly community dinners and September 2021 been asked to take on the role as Student Leader and I will continue to be student leader until I head to college.  As student leader I am responsible for getting new volunteers trained and make sure volunteers are getting their assignments done. 

Also in the spring of 2021 I joined a gym.  I enjoy working out at the gym lifting, I have  developed workouts that work specific muscle groups that will help improve my pitching.     Because of the passion I have shown at the gym the owners have asked me to help market the gym.   

 I believe with my pitching skills, my understanding of the game and my leadership skills I would bring great value not only to the team, but to the school as a whole.

Thank you coach for coming across my profile and now that you know more about my skills and myself I would like to stay in contact.
