Personal Statement
My name is Garrett Backus, and ever since I was young I’ve wanted to play baseball at the collegiate level or beyond. As a catcher, I have good footwork and blocking skills with a pop time of 2.01. I am also a switch-hitter. I work hard to perfect my swing year round and I also workout to get stronger during the off-season and during the season. I am a smart baseball player as well as a great student. I also work just as hard in the classroom as I do on the baseball field. I also help my community by mowing lawns, raking leaves, and shoveling driveways.
