Peter Caravousanos '14 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement: My goal is to play baseball for as long as I can produce and be valuable to my team. I hope to play at the professional level one day too. After my baseball career, I see myself continuing in the sport in some capacity as either a coach, trainer, or possibly as a scout. I am seeking a college opportunity where I can immediately be utilized, developed, and improved to my best potential. Peter John

What others say:

• "Peter has had the passion to play baseball since the early age of 4 years old. He was a successful middle infielder and pitcher until age 14 when he decided to dedicate his full time effort, and training as a middle infielder exclusively. This decision was primarily because he his strength as a SS and outstanding ability at the plate. Peter is a true gamer, he feeds off stress, when the stakes are high, and he was always the guy his coaches wanted in that clutch spot because he delivers. Peter motivates players by his demeanor, he leads by example, and doesn't get frazzled. He is always calculating and in control of his emotions and strategy. Peter has always played and competed at the top competition level locally on Long Island, NY, regionally, and nationally too. In fact, Peter made it through 3 of 4 cuts of the 18U Team USA Baseball team selection, ending in Cary, NC this past 2013 summer.
