My goals and aspirations for college are to get a 4 year degree and to find a good career choice that matches my interests. I became interested in baseball when I was about 9 years old because it’s different from all other sports, for instance it works mental toughness more than any other sport and I enjoy that about the game. The two things that have influenced me to play baseball are growing up in a baseball town with the St. Louis Cardinals and watching and playing baseball with my family from an early age. I have had to overcome many challenges, for instance my parents live in different states but with their support and the support of my coaches I have been able to progress as a pitcher. Some unique characteristics I possess are that I am very outgoing and I am very good at multitasking. I am very coachable and will do whatever is needed to succeed.
