Infield and Batti...Personal Statement
My name is Joseph Closson Jr, I am a class of 2022 RHP and Shortstop. I have been playing baseball since I can remember. As soon as I picked up a baseball I knew I would never want to put it down. My parents would yell at me to stop throwing the baseball in the house and I would bug my parents every day just so I could play catch with them for twenty minutes. I have always been seen as a leader, this past fall I was Co-Captain of our varsity soccer team. I believe I would be a great asset to someone's college baseball program.
