Joey LaScala '25 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing competitive travel baseball since my father started a 7U team in my town.  I have always loved the competitiveness of the game, the team aspect and the high intensity moments.  I am a multi-sport athlete (I have played high school football and I also currenlty play high school basketball) but baseball is my passion I am am giving 100% of my focus on training, practicing and playing competitively to become the best pitcher that I can possibly be.  While I do play first base, being a staring pitcher is where I see myself contributing the most to my current and future teams.  I am always working on developing my pitch arsenal, but nothing gives me more pleasure than throwing my curveball in a count where a batter is not expecting it and watching it work nicely.  There is no better feeling!   I hope to become a highly recruitable righ handed starting pitcher for a top baseball program where I can make an positive impact on the program, continue to develop as a pitcher at a very high level, help my team win and develop strong, and hopefully, life  long relationships with my teammates and coaches while at the same time excelling in the classroom and getting a great education.
