Matthew Perez Cat...Personal Statement
I am a 2024 Catcher, UTL player who loves the game. I eat, sleep, breathe baseball and have dreams of playing at the next level. I work extremely hard to better myself in the classroom and in the cage, on the field, and in the weight room. I play everywhere on the field, I'm the starting shortstop at my highschool and I am a primary catcher during the summer and fall; while also playing infield and outfield when I am not behind the dish. I am constantly watching video of my swing and comparing myself to professional hitters to see what those guys do better or differently than I do and try to incorporate little things into my own swing.
