Simon Kotarski '21 Recruiting Profile

My name is Simon Kotarski and I've been dedicated to  baseball since I was very young and my adoration and appreciation for the game hasn't wavered since. My first brush with college baseball was two years ago through an invitation to Bryant University.  I was asked to join a select group of kids to talk to and perform overall skills and fundamental mastery to the entire Bryant coaching staff and the baseball team captain. This marks a turning point in my baseball career, a turning point of motivation and interest into how far I could take my newly realized talent when combined with deep seeded passion and drive for the sport.  Since, I've showcased at numerous camps, more recently I joined "The Show". Show Baseball travels around New England and we play in front of many college coaches.  \

I am a very dedicated person and player, I would do anything for my team. If I am given the chance to play at the next level I will work as hard as I can to have a large contribution to the team. 

Baseball means everything to me, it has been a big part of my family. I am very thankful to have amazing parents who have been dedicated to helping me pursue my passion. Every summer on the weekends I am at the field for 8 hours and my parents are always there by my side

I have always dreamed of playing baseball in college, now that I am a repeat junior I have an opportunity to fulfill my dream. I am a primary catcher and secondary outfielder. I can play anywhere in the outfield. I am very versatile player and I believe that is a very important part of my game. 

I transferred from St. John's Prep in Danvers to Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro NH. I am training everyday in the offseason in the gym and on the field.    

Thank you 

Simon Kotarski, 6-foot, 175-pound right-handed hitting catcher. Threw 88 mph during the defensive session at the workout. The transfer needs to be cleaned up as he stands up after receiving the baseball, needs to stay low and through the throw. The arm works clean. The ability to receive is average, needs to continue to develop the securing of the baseball at catch. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 89 mph. Starts with the front foot open, the foot closes down as the ball approaches.  The bat path is in and out of the strike zone very quickly, needs to be flattened to increase contact. The bottom half stays under control throughout the swing.

 Kotarski is a repeat junior out of Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro NH. In the past he was at St. John's Prep in Danvers MA. He has played for Legends Baseball for 5 years and coach was Tom Frosoni. This past summer he played on the the 18u Show Baseball Showcase team.
