Matthew Datlof '18 Recruiting Profile

I absolutely love the game of baseball, since I was a small child just starting out I knew that I would want to play the game for the rest of my life. Now entering the recruiting process my collegiate goals are as high as you can set them as I want to play at the highest level while getting the highest level of education. I realize how high these expectations are, but that does not matter to me. No matter how much work and discipline I have to put in to be at the top of my game and most importantly be the best I can be is what I am willing to do. I will always work hard and never stop working hard until I am satisfied, except I will never be satisfied. I will always want to be better as a baseball player, as a student, and as a person. My differences definitely set me apart from all the other players as I am motivated, enthusiastic and fearless. When it comes down to it I want the game to be in my hands, I want to be the one to win. Everything that I do on the field translates into the classroom as my education is at the top of my priorities, because in the end you can take away my baseball, but never my education. These attributes have been the building blocks for my life thus far, I hope  to see the day where my hard work takes me to the next level.
