My name is Asa Runge and I am a member of the class of 2021 at Pinkerton Academy High School in Derry, New Hampshire.
I am 6’1" – 195 lbs. of pure athletic madness. I am a starting two-way player for the Pinkerton Academy Varsity Baseball Team, State of New Hampshire, Division I. I made First Team, All-State, 2018. And, after the school season, I play for:
2018 North East Baseball 16U Jays, Hudson, MA (Summer/Fall Season)
I pitch left and hit left. I throw consistently up to 88+ mph. And, I have a full arsenal of pitches including a breaking ball, change-up, even a knuckle-curve. And, every one of these pitches leaves the batter stunned and shaking his head.
When I’m not pitching I spend time in RF and 1B. My coaches know that when I’m in the field nothing is getting by me. And, with my arm, I can throw a runner out at any base from deep in the outfield. I'm currently reaching a batting exit velocity of 99 mph.
In the off-season I lift weights, run, throw, and spend considerable time preparing for the next season. I like to compete – and I compete to win. I dream and aspire to play college baseball and obtain a valuable education. I’m a hardworking, determined, and competitive person, who strives to be a great teammate. I’m NOT a know-it-all. I’m respectful to my coaches and always willing to listen and learn from them. Like everyone else, I’m a work-in-progress. But, the difference between me and everyone else is that I WILL work harder than my competition to be the best that I can possibly be.
So, you’ve read about some of my baseball accomplishments, but my determination flows into the classroom as well. I understand that my future success will require a continued commitment to my school work and maintaining a superior GPA.
But, I love the game of baseball. I work harder than my competition to improve myself every day. I am a leader that any school can count on both on and off the field. I don’t disappoint. I don’t make excuses. I am not your average candidate. My dream is to play high level college baseball.
Thank you for viewing my information, reading my story, and for being interested in my abilities as a baseball player and as a student athlete.
