Tanner Bennett ‘20 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

Playing baseball at the collegiate level has always been a dream of mine.  Ever since I first picked up a bat and a glove, I dreamed of playing baseball at the next level.   

I have a strong desire to play baseball throughout my college career.   I would like to study Zoology and Animal Anatomy.  After college, I would like to further my studies and become a Veterinarian and bring happiness to the things that make people happy, their pets.  

I am different from the other recruits because I bring life to a team.  I am always upbeat and excited to play.  I am a leader on both of my teams (A-C and Post 134).  I always hold my head high.  I am a good teammate in the fact that I cheer on my guys when good plays are made and also when things aren't going so well.   I am a very hardworking player on and off the field.  I am a coachable athlete.  I respect my coaches and listen to all suggestions they have about changes I may need to make in my mechanics. 

I am constantly trying to improve my academics.   At Amanda-Cleacreek High School, I take part in a Mentorship Program where I work with a younger student two days a week.  I help them with school work and serve as a positive role model for them.  I take part in youth baseball camps that are offered in the A-C School District.  I am also an umpire for our community baseball and softball leagues.

Finally but most important, I am a Christian.  I participate in my Church's Youth Group.  I try to live a positive life and strive hard to make anyone and everyone around me a better person.
