Personal Statement
Dear Coach,
First off, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to look at my profile. I hope I am a great match for your school.
My name is Jaxson Simmerman and I am a 2020 graduate catcher who attends Seward High School in Seward, NE. I am a volunteer for events in FBLA, FFA, and other local community activities. I am also currently the PA Announcer for our High School Softball team. I strive hard to be a person with great character. I will do anything I need to do in my power to succeed not only in the classroom but also on the field. In the classroom, I receive all A's and complete my homework on time, along with participating in class discussions. I would like to major in Political Science with hopes of working in Washington D.C.
On the field, I work hard everyday of the year to better myself as a baseball player, whether it's in the weight room, in the batting cage, or on the field. I also improve myself on being an overall athlete. I am a gap to gap hitter that has some raw power. I started varsity as a freshman and was our leadoff hitter for the district tournament. I hit .308 with only 3 strikeouts in 16 games. In 12 games catching, I was 1-3 in throwing out runners behind the dish. I take the sport very seriously. I feel catching is the best asset of my game. I will do anything to make my pitchers better, along with the whole team. I have taught myself how to catch mostly, other than going to one camp. I have great leadership and communication skills that will set me apart from other catcher prospects.
I am looking to make myself the best baseball player I can be and whatever level I am a good fit for, I hope to open opportunities to play.
Again, I thank you for taking this time to look at my profile and I look forward to communicating with you in the future. My contact information is below.
Sincerely,
Jaxson Simmerman
