Douglas Zang '21 Recruiting Profile

What makes me a great candidate for your team is my work ethic for not only myself but for my teammates. As I try to improve my game, I try to help my teammates to improve on theirs as well.  What makes me different from other recruits academically is that I work as hard in the classroom as I do on the field. I feel like my character plays a big part in my everyday life. Through the tough times, I try to keep being the humble person I was raised to be. I was taught by my parents to go on the field and get the job done with no questions asked.  Athletically, I might not be the biggest or strongest kid on the field, but that doesn't stop me from achieving my spot on the field. Playing baseball in college has always been a lifelong dream of mine! I can remember, when I was around 8 or 9 years old, looking up to players like Brandon Phillips and Ken Griffey Jr. and just wanting to be just like them.  Now I am hoping to be the type of player that other kids look up to or want to be like!
