Justin Garthaffner '17 Recruiting Profile

My goals for my collegiate years are that I would love to attend a college that challenges me as both a student & as a baseball player. I would like to go away for school, but it does not necessarily need to be a college that is far away from home. Family is very important to me.  I know my family would want to support my school & attend games during baseball season. I have traveled throughout the northeast playing baseball, and I hope to continue to use baseball as a vehicle to experience traveling to different areas of our country, & the world as well.

I feel I'd be a good candidate for any collegiate baseball program as I'm a very dedicated & loyal person. What separates me from other recruits is my ability to be a clutch performer. I would call myself confident, not cocky.  I relish being at the plate in big spots with the game on the line.  I honestly don't think I've ever been in a moment during a baseball game that was too big for me.  By no means have I always come through, but I have succeeded much more then I have failed, and I don't believe I have ever been totally over-matched out on a baseball diamond.  

At this time I am planning to major in Sports Management or Sports Business.  After an undergraduate degree, I would like to attend Law School.  Ultimately I would like to become a player agent someday after my own playing career ends.
