Kyle Furst '19 Recruiting Profile

From an athletic standpoint, in addition to baseball, I have played many sports.  I played travel lacrosse until my commitment to baseball ended that a few years ago.  I played flag football, competing in regional championships until I aged out of that program.  I have played some basketball but was never able to focus on it because it conflicted with my skiing commitment.  I was on the Mount Snow (Vermont) Freestyle ski team for a number of years, with my personal highlight being a 6th place finish in the aerials competition of the VT State Championships a few years ago.  I have given baseball lessons and often volunteer to help at Bobby Valentine's Baseball Academy.  I strive to be a great teammate, always supportive and encouraging.  I'm not necessarily the loudest all the time but I try to pick spots to help fire up the team.  Since I don't yell all the time, I have found I get a stronger reaction when I do.

Academically, I work hard.  I wish it came as easy to me as athletics.  I look to get extra help from my teachers in classes that I'm not as strong in, although I admit my Dad probably wished I would do that even more.  I most definitely want to succeed.  When my sports career is over, I hope to find success in the business world.

I believe I would be an asset to a college, both as a student and friend, as well as to any baseball program I was part of.  Thank you for taking your time to read this.  I look forward to hearing from you.
