Personal Statement
I am currently a junior at Drake-Anamoose High School. I am 6'3" tall and weigh 175 pounds. Baseball is my best sport and the one i hope i am able to play beyond high school. It has been my dream for a long time to play college baseball.Since i started playing baseball with Velva i have been to 7 state tournaments. Two of those resulted in a first place finish and two of them a third place finish. I am very pationate about the game and work hard to better myself. As soon as our basketball season is over I start to throw with our pitching coach to get into shape. I have never been clocked for a speed but i am told i throw around 80 mph. During games i am never phased. Throwing a bad pitch or making an error does not make me play worse. In fact it even makes me do better because I adjust the mistake i had and fix it. I keep a cool head and don't get angry no matter the situation. It seems to me that the bigger the game the better I play. I have been taught to pitch for contact which I try to do most of the time. However when a strikeout is needed i can pick it up. I have a unique 3/4 arm delivery that allows me to throw a very live fastball. I am also in the process of developing a split finger pitch. I would enjoy playing for any team at any level..
