Ruben Pacheco '21 Recruiting Profile

Baseball has always been a number 1 priority for me ever since the age of 3. Not only does it bring me as an individual together, but also my family and friends. Ever since I was young my parents always had this desire for me to play baseball to the fullest and have fun because its really the only thing that makes me smile. Even at a competitive Collegiate level, through the losses and the wins, I will always try to tell my ball peers to laugh at the end of our games. The reason is because we are doing this together as a brotherhood and as a family.  I feel this is what separates me from other players is that even though im competitive in baseball, the teams chemistry behind the baseball games is what makes up a good and winning caliber team. Goals that I have in terms of the Collegiate level is not only just being a fast growing baseball player, but also to become a better version of myself mentally and physically than I was at High School in terms of stress, time management, and classes. Even though I play the first base, third base, and catcher, I will always try other positions a sacrifice to whatever makes the team win.  All I want as a mentally and physically growing baseball player is to just make everybody love the game while still being competetive and that is what I think what the game of baseball is all about to me. Its not just me thats playing the game, its the team thats playing the game and is what builds a strong collegiate leveled baseball team.
