Tyler VanDerwerken '21 Recruiting Profile

Coaches,

I would like to thank you for taking the time to look at my player page. I am currently preparing for my Fall Ball season with the Nebraska Prospects as I enter my Sophomore year at Bellevue West.

Since I was first able to watch and understand baseball…I was hooked, and always had a passion for the game; and the game within the game

Growing up south of Omaha and going to CWS games every year drove me when I started playing baseball to work to improve my value to my team, to get better and to play at the college level

I believe that I am a good fit for any college baseball program. I am viewed as a leader on the field and off. On the field as a catcher I try to lead by example with my attitude, by encouraging my teammates, with my work ethic, being coachable and respectful to all. Off the field in the classroom, I work hard to complete my assignments and maintain a high GPA.  In the past, I have held a position in student government and volunteered with AllPlay Miracle League baseball for players with special needs.  Currently, I am volunteering with Bellevue Buddy Baseball, sharing my love of baseball with kids with Downs Syndrome.

I’m looking to attend a school where I can be impactful to my teammates and the team as a whole while being challenged on the field and in the classroom. I’m willing to do the work needed and am open to all options to play at the highest level of competition possible. My ultimate goal is to make a positive difference to those around me.

Thank you,

-Tyler
