Matthew Hartness '22 Recruiting Profile

Since the age of three nothing has brought me more joy than playing the greatest sport on earth, baseball.  I am known for having soft hands, a strong arm, a quick bat, and being a verbal leader on the field.  Mainly I play shortstop/second base, and I have also played outfield.  

Baseball has taught me very important life skills such as a genuine work ethic, self motivation, leadership, dedication, perseverance, and also has humbled me in various ways.  In high school I have been a leader off and on the field. I have maintained a 4.2 GPA while taking challenging classes and playing multiple sports at a prestigious high school.

During the quarantine I have been working out/hitting off the tee everyday and frequently going to the park to hit and work on skills.  

In college I aspire to achieve a degree in pre-medicine, while striving to grow in the game of baseball.  I intend on working as hard as it takes to produce wins for a collegiate program.  I am willing to put in the time and effort to excel both in my collegiate academic and athletic career.

In my free time I enjoy fishing and hanging out with my family and friends.
